Those who hammer their guns into plows,

will plow for those who do not

Those who trade liberty for Security

have neither

President 1797 - 1801

  An armed man is a citizen.

An unarmed man is a subject

  Gun control is not about guns; it's about control. 

Free men do not ask permission to bear arm

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

American Revolution Era Flags

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 MasonCo-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
