Your Vote for the Best Pro-Gun Quote Ever

[Dave Davidson]

Long time lurker but my first post.

Buy "The Second Amendment Primer" by Les Adams. It's relatively inexpensive and goes into the history for the need of self defense. Buy it on Amazon.

In ancient Greece, citizens were required to keep weapons and be proficient in their use. Most of the framers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were well versed in European Law and the history of despotism including the desire of rulers to disarm the populace. In our early colonial days there was no responsibility to come to the aid of a neighbor who would not protect himself. There are quite a few court cases giving results of the phrase of "well regulated militia". Adams spends a lot of time and paper going through the legal history of the challenges to the 2nd amendment.

Buy it and learn. I've now read it 3 times and still get more out of it.

Strike for your green graves of your sires

"People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically 'right.' Guns ended that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work."

L. Neil Smith, The Probability Broach, 1982

"How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual... as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of."

I always liked this one.

Happiness is a warm gun (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, mama (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
When I hold you in my arms (Oo-oo oh yeah)
And I feel my finger on your trigger (Oo-oo oh yeah)
I know no one can do me no harm (Oo-oo oh yeah)

Aim small, miss small.

While said by the character, Benjamin Martin, in the movie The Patriot, the credit for the saying is attributed to one of the House brothers who was teaching him how to shoot a flintlock rifle.
