Well thats all fine and dandy but you and your ideo games wouldn't be here without the 2nd amendment
Ah, the 2nd. The 1st is important, but the second is essential.
"The real beauty of the second amendment is that it is absolutely meaningless until they try to take it away."
Thomas Jefferson
"A free people ought ... to be armed."
George Washington
"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms, and be taught alike especially when young, how to use them."
Richard Henry Lee
"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?"
Patrick Henry
"Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. A despotic tyrannical system could not exist without the ignorance of the people, and all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is to have good men do nothing."
Frederick Douglas
