George Washington on Guns

[tennman]

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." George Washington

[fenton]

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." George Washington

[p.rehbein]

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." George Washington

Which is the exact purpose/reason for the 2nd Amendment.

[Snargles]

"Armed and disciplined" not "armed and yahoos."

If you want to play with guns, join the army.

Based on this quote, I bet G Washington would have fought for the Confederacy if he hadn't been dead and 130 years old at the time.
