Got an email from a friend today that I have received before. It was in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. We have all read/heard these before, but they bear constant repetition. I copied the relevant text from the file and provide it here for your thoughtful reflection.
Regarding the second to last item below, if it was good enough for George Washington, it is good enough for me.
Those who hammer their guns into plows, will plow for those who do not. Thomas Jefferson
Those who trade liberty for Security have neither.
John Adams
An armed man is a citizen.
An unarmed man is a subject.
You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.
Know guns, Know Peace, Know Safety.
No Guns, No Peace, No Safety.
Guns have only two enemies:
Rust and Politicians
You don’t shoot to kill, you shoot to stay alive.
Assault is a behavior, not a device.
64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.
When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.
The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.
Only a government that is afraid of its citizens
tries to control them.
The United States Constitution
The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others.
What part of 'shall not be infringed' do you NOT understand?
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
