Honor never grows old, and honor rejoices the heart of age. It does so because honor is, finally, about defending those noble and worthy things that deserve defending, even if it comes at a high cost. In our time, that may mean social disapproval, public scorn, hardship, persecution, or as always, even death itself. The question remains: What is worth defending? What is worth dying for? What is worth living for?" - William J. Bennett, lecture to the United States Naval Academy, November 24, 1997
AN ARMED SOCIETY IS A POLITE SOCIETY

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Thomas Jefferson, "The Declaration of Independence as Adopted By Congress" July 4, 1776.

Have we forgotten?......

I'm sure he was a good shot too.
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

He was a shooter "let your gun be your constant companion" and all that, but whether he was any GOOd is something I have never heard answered.
