"He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one that hath no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God hath enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itselfteaches every creature to defend itself."

Just curious, where is that quote from?
If I need to use it someday, want to be able to cite the source if questioned.
Thx

Hamburger,

I think that was from the Pope's 'Evangeleum Vitae' from a few years back. Kinda like a religious 'state of the union', IIRC.

I think you can find reference to it in a few articles over at [url]www.keepandbeararms.com[/url]

That's correct. The preacher's name is not given. Sorry.
