A well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.” -James Madison, Annuals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789 “Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and the keystone of independence.” -George Washington |
