Quote from Thomas Jefferson
« on: December 11, 2007, 02:40:05 PM »
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms, disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.  Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homocides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -from Thomas Jefferson's "Commonplace Book", quoting from, "On Crimes and Punishemnt", by Cesare Beccaria, 1764.
(I think the Supreme Court should read this before they take action on the meaning of the second amendment!!)
