The first quote belongs to Will Rogers and the second quote belongs to George Washington.

Bullets whistling over head is a much better sound than whistling lower than that! I'll bet he was referring to finally having his ass down low rather than up there on that big white horse!

Yamamoto, December 7/8, 1941. Now if anyone could give me a correct citation for his 1941 quote, "We can never invade mainland United States. There is a gun behind every blade of grass," I would REALLY appreciate it. In my opinion, it would have been in a paper he wrote in late 1940 or during one of two staff meetings in the summer of 1941, but I have not been able to nail it.
Quoted: 1)"I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant."? |

Quoted: "Revolution is like one cocktail;it just gets you organized for the next." "I heard the bullets whistle,and believe me,there is something charming in the sound." Well hell, there's nothing like giving us the answer at the same time you ask the question. |

It's from one of the Japanese mucky-mucks. Stay tuned, History Channel re-runs everything. |

Japan was anti-gun from the start because it upset them that some illiterate untrained peasant could defeat a Samurai trained from birth.
It was eliteism. In so many countries around the world, you have to know people to get guns. America is getting more and more like that. |
