"We are fast approaching
the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where
the government is free to do anything it pleases, while
the citizens may act only by permission, which is the
stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage
of rule by brute force."
Ayn Rand, The Nature of Government
"The power of the state is measured by the power that
men surrender to it." Felix Morley
"The Constitution is a limited grant of enumerated powers...and
a series of restrictions that prohibit government officials
from interfering with the exercise of rights that preexist
government."
J. Hornberger 11/2001 http://www.FFF.org/comment/ed1101h.asp
"It is naive to believe that the Supreme Court will
invalidate any government action that receives both
congressional and presidential imprimatur as necessary
and proper to protect Americans against the terrorist
threat. If our liberties are to be protected, it is
up to us to protect them."
Sanford Levinson 10/17/01

"Terrorists
don't actually cause terror to occur. It occurs when the
government says you can't defend yourself. Only after this
fundamental sapient right to defend yourself is taken away,
can unscrupulous men terrorize you."
Tristan
Petersen 10/8/01 http://www.anti-state.com/petersen/petersen1.html
"The right is absolute...government has no authority to
forbid me from owning a firearm...the debate is not about
guns. It is about freedom."
Calif. Sen. Tom McClintock, Western CPAC Conference 6/9/01
http://republican.sen.ca.gov/web/mcclintock/article_detail.asp?PID=189
"Registration has been used to facilitate gun confiscation
in the UK, Australia, Jamaica, CA, NYC, Nazi-occupied Europe,
Soviet-occupied Europe, Philippines, Bermuda ... Registration
is an important preliminary step to total handgun prohibition."
Dave Kopel 8/1/01

"A state that deprives its law-abiding citizens of the means
to effectively defend themselves is not civilized but barbarous,
becoming an accomplice of murderers, rapists, and thugs..."
Jeff Snyder, 'A Nation of Cowards'

"Those who think private citizens should never be armed
should think about where young Robert Regent would be today
if his dad hadn't had a gun and known how to use it."
Rod Dreher, NY Post 6/26/01
"...many existing 'gun control' laws are unconstitutional
and ineffective. Counties which allow law-abiding citizens
to go armed have seen their rates of violent crime drop
markedly."
Las Vegas Review-Journal 7/25/01

"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body
of people always possess arms, and be taught alike especially
when young, how to use them."
Richard Henry Lee, initiator of the Declaration of Independence
"...that the Constitution be never construed to authorize
Congress to prevent the people of the United States, who
are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms."
Samuel Adams, Bill of Rights Ratification 1779
"The people of the United States are the rightful masters
of both Congress and the courts; not to overthrow the Constitution,
but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution."
Abraham Lincoln
"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
"The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept,
and wording of the Second Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every
major commentator and court in the first half-century after
its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an
individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms
in a peaceful manner."
1982 Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution |

"What the
subcommittee on the Constitution uncovered was clear
- and long lost - proof that the 2nd Amendment to our
Constitution was intended as an individual right of
the American citizen to keep and carry arms in a peaceful
manner, for protection of himself, his family, and his
freedoms."
U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, 1982 Subcommittee on the Constitution
"Not only is it the right of every free person to bear
arms, it is a must for continued freedom from oppression
and crime."
Sheriff
Cook 8/14/01 http://www.SierraTimes.com/archive/files/aug/14/sheriff.htm
"...gun laws only result in armed criminals preying
on defenseless citizens."
Lt. Harry Thomas, July 1989 American Rifleman pg.58
"We are adamantly opposed to registration of guns...There
is no difference in licensing the gun owner or registering
the gun; that is just semantics."
Charles Canterbury, President, SC Fraternal Order of
Police, 12/10/93, in The Washington Times
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only
those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit
crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted
and better for the assailants; they serve rather to
encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed
man may be attacked with greater confidence than an
armed man."
Cesare Beccaria, Criminologist, 'On Crimes and Punishment'
"The saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of
a vanished liberty is that it was lost because its possessors
failed to stretch forth a saving hand while yet there
was time."
U.S. Supreme Court Justice George Sutherland, 1938
"We never thought that there would be any effect on
illegal gun crime, because this is a totally separate
issue. What we were campaigning for was to make sure
that a civilian could not be legally trained to use
a handgun."
Anne
Pearston, UK, 2001 http://lewrockwell.com/watson/watson12.html
"You have plenty of rights in this country, provided
you don't get caught exercising them."
Terry Mitchell
"There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives
could have been saved if the people had not been 'brainwashed'
about gun ownership and they had been well armed. Hitler's
thugs and goons were not very brave when confronted
by a gun. Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw
Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a
ragtag, half starved group of Jews took up 10 handguns
and made asses out of the Nazis."
Theodore Haas, former prisoner of Dachau Nazi death
camp
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a
little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor
safety."
Benjamin Franklin 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania
"I have seen an American general and his officers, without
pay, and almost without clothes, living on roots and
drinking water; and all for LIBERTY! What chance have
we against such men!"
young British officer to Colonel Watson describing the
American militia rebels in Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion,
The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18]
