(I do not own this video) “The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” — 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 (C.J. Boyd, Ed., 1950)

The Quotes are from our Founding Fathers.
“Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will be America’s heart, her benedictions and prayers, but she goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator of her own.” — John Quincy Adams, 1821.
“to disarm the people (is) the best and most effective way to enslave them…” — George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 380
“What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. … Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.” — Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment, I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17, 1789
“The right of the people to keep and bear…arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country…” — James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789
We, the citizens of these States United ARE the militia, by act of Congress and by the Constitutional statement of our natural rights. Its time we started acting like one. Many of our state constitutions, likewise, define the militia as all able bodied citizens capable of bearing arms. Time to stop the pointless debates over the preamble to the 2nd amendment, as the meaning is quite clear to anyone who can read.
Lady, gun manufacture is not rocket science, a piece of paper does not make the rule of law, and some stinking royals’ diktats are not the last word, even in Europe. Stop being the bleating sheep and get off your bums to save yourselves.
