-Richard Henry Lee
Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. The are the American people liberty teeth and keystone under independence...From the hour the Pilgrims landed...events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security, and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable...The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.
-George Washington
Arms in the hands of the citizen may be used at individual discouraged for the defense of the country, the overthrow of tyranny, or private self defense.
-John Adams
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks.
-Thomas Jefferson
