Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the people’s liberty’s teeth.
--George Washington

The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.
--Thomas Jefferson

Is that true?

"I've outlawed the Russian's.  The missiles will be flying in 5 minutes.  God bless America"
Ronald Reagan

Why give them 5 minutes of warning?

"Speak softly and carry a big stick."

- Theodore Roosevelt

Here is one from a Founding Father.   This quote is one of my favorites. Given the times, this quote is quite relevent to our situations.

"They that can give up essential liberty for a little temporary safety desearve neither liberty nor safety."

"This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others; It will end in a way and at an hour of our choosing"........... President George W. Bush

"One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them." --Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1796. ME 9:341

"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
--Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824.

"We must train and classify the whole of our male citizens, and make military instruction a regular part of collegiate education. We can never be safe till this is done."
--Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1813.

"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."
--Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764).

And from the President of the NRA:

"The Brady law has been in effect for three years now. In that time, the Federal government has prosecuted seven people, and convicted three of them. The President has entertained more felons than that at Whitehouse fundraisers, for Pete's sake."
- Charlton Heston, on Meet The Press, 18-May-97

Ronald Reagan:

The march of freedom and democracy . . . will leave Marxist-Leninism on the ash heap of history.


Republicans believe every day is 4th of July, but Democrats believe every day is April 15.


Trust, but verify.


Government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem.


Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it
to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on
for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our
children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where
men were free.
