15. The Founding Fathers on the Second Amendment
"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is
the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
George Mason - Co-author of the Second Amendment
during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution, 1788
Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the
American people's liberty teeth and
keystone under independence … from
the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and
tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol
are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains
evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
George Washington - First President of the United States
"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the
people always possess arms and be taught alike,
especially when young, how to use them."
Richard Henry Lee - American Statesman, 1788

MORE GUN HISTORY

19. During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America
because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
With guns, we are 'citizens;' without them, we are 'subjects'.
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear
politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property
and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-
abiding citizens
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in
defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill
is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.
Why Fight?
