It is Un-American not to be Armed

With all the recent talk about the need for stronger gun control and the debate as to whether American Citizens should own guns, I would like us to take a moment and review what our founding fathers believes about carrying a firearm.The second Amendment was designed to ensure all other amendments were protected against and from Tyranny both from outside and within. You can say what you want about guns and gun nuts. But you also half to use your brain and while you are at it, read what OUR founding fathers said about guns. They thought it would be UNAMERICAN for any citizen to walk around unarmed.

"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
-George MasonCo-author of the Second Amendment

"The people are not to be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full possession of them."-Zachariah Johnson"

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 ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable, the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."-George Washington, First President of the United States

"The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand arms, like laws, discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside … Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them."
-Thomas Paine

"The great object is that every man be armed." and "Everyone who is able may have a gun."-Patrick Henry"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that it is their right and duty to be at ALL times armed."-Thomas Jefferson
