"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good." - George Washington
99explorer, you just took my quote. LOL I love that one, and I think I will give the whole quote to what he said. Plus I got 2 more that are favorites. Great quote incase you deal with someone debating how our forefathers looked at firearms.
"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, occurrences and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle AND pistol are equally indispensable.... The very atmosphere or firearms everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good." - George Washington
"Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson
This quote isn't about firearms, but hunting and it's still my favorite.
"Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, they quiver and thy bow, and go out and take me some venison." - Genesis 27:3
Some would say that those that keep guns for protection are paranoid and/or crazy.
Fire extinguishers are everywhere. Is that just everyone being paranoid and crazy?
Guns are like fire extinguishers. You probably won't need one, but if you do, you'll REALLY need it. And it better be loaded (be it ammo or fire retardant) when that time comes.
If we don't need guns because the police can protect us, then throw out all the fire extinguishers; we don't need them because we have a fire department.
Sometimes you have to use grade school level analogies to get through the thick, ignorant skulls of the antis.
When famous bank robber Willie Sutton was asked if he carried a gun. He replied "well you can't get the job done with a winning smile. But it's not loaded someone might get hurt".
Zane Grays last interview of Buffalo Bill. With regard to the most deadly gunfighters. His reply "not the quickest but the ones of a single mind. They killed you before they pulled their pistol". IE Wild Bill Hickok. When asked about the knife that he killed Yellow Hand with. He replied "just a regular knife we thought of them as tools".
This may be out of place on this post but remember: All Concealed Weapons Carriers, when you get in a fight and confrontation remember there is going to be a gun there, you brought it.
"I say that the Second Amendment is, in order of importance, the first amendment. It is America's First Freedom, the one right that protects all the others. Among freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, of assembly, of redress of grievances, it is the first among equals. It alone offers the absolute capacity to live without fear. The right to keep and bear arms is the one right that allows 'rights' to exist at all."
