However, 4 out of 5 U.S. murders are committed in the other half of the country: so who is crazy?" ~Andrew Ford .”The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.” ~Thomas Jefferson .”You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass.” ~Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto .”An armed society is a polite society.” ~Robert Heinlein .”A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.” ~Sigmund Freud .”There’s no such thing as a good gun. There’s no such thing as a bad gun. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a very dangerous thing.

Jeff Cooper .”If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.” ~The Dalai Lama .”Though defensive violence will always be ‘a sad necessity’ in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.” ~St. Augustine Aw screw it, what do I know? I'm just a peckerwood who lives in the hills with too many guns.
