Thoughts about guns, self
defense and the 2nd Amendment:
The great object is that every man be armed.
Everyone who is able may have a gun.
- Patrick Henry
The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be
properly armed.
-- Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers at 184-188
...the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any
member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to
others...Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is
sovereign.
- John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
What if the 2nd Amendment had read 'A literate population, being
necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to
keep and read books, shall not be infringed'? Would that allow the State
to restrict books to libraries or require licenses for their posession?
What about exceptionally dangerous or subversive books?
- J. Neil Schulman
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason
for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last
resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
- Thomas Jefferson
That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize
Congress to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceful
citizens from keeping their own arms.
- Samuel Adams, U.S. Constitutional Convention, 1788
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.
We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands
which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity
forget that you were our countrymen.
- Samuel Adams
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the
people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a
society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the
military.
- William S. Burroughs
Are we at last brought to such an humiliating and debasing degradation
that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the
difference between having our arms under our own possession and under
our own 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
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they
are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America
cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the
people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular
troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A
military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but
such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will
possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination,
to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and
oppressive.
--Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal
Constitution (Philadelphia 1787)
The enemies of freedom do not argue; they shout and they shoot.
- William R. Inge
The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedom.
- William Orville Douglas, US Supreme Court
The right to be let alone is the underlying principle of the
Constitution's Bill of Rights.
- Erwin N. Griswold
