Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed
"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 homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -- Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book, 1774-1776
