\u201cA free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.\u201d
George Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We\u2019ve all heard the argument from those who would disarm America that the Second Amendment is an archaic law that should be repealed, or at the very least re-written. They say that you should turn in your \u2018militarized assault\u2019 firearms because they are not necessary for sporting, hunting or personal defense. They tell us that the protections afforded by our right to bear arms are ambiguous and unnecessary in our modern-day society.<\/p>\n

But those who support dismantling our rights under the U.S. Constitution rarely cite our Founders\u2019 reasoning for this fundamental law of the land \u2014 whether due to ignorance or because it doesn\u2019t play into their ideologies of an all-knowing, benevolent centralized government.<\/p>\n

The following compendium of quotes from our Founders are so clear and succinct that even the most outspoken of gun grabbers would find it impossible to argue the original intent of this essential Constitutional Amendment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Constitution preserves \u201cthe advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation\u2026(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.\u201d\u00a0– James Madison, The Federalist, No. 46<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.\u201d \u00e2\u20ac\u00a8\u2014 Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAre we at last brought to such an humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense?\u201d\u00a0\u2014 Patrick Henry<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference \u2014 they deserve a place of honor with all that\u2019s good.\u201d

“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.”
George Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We’ve all heard the argument from those who would disarm America that the Second Amendment is an archaic law that should be repealed, or at the very least re-written. They say that you should turn in your ‘militarized assault’ firearms because they are not necessary for sporting, hunting or personal defense. They tell us that the protections afforded by our right to bear arms are ambiguous and unnecessary in our modern-day society.<\/p>\n

But those who support dismantling our rights under the U.S. Constitution rarely cite our Founders’ reasoning for this fundamental law of the land – whether due to ignorance or because it doesn’t play into their ideologies of an all-knowing, benevolent centralized government.<\/p>\n

The following compendium of quotes from our Founders are so clear and succinct that even the most outspoken of gun grabbers would find it impossible to argue the original intent of this essential Constitutional Amendment.<\/p>\n
