:2cents Second Amendment Quotes - Food For Thought

A friend emailed these quotes to me and I thought I'd share:

"Jesus said, 'But now whoever has a purse or a bag, must take it and whoever does not have a sword must sell his cloak and buy one.'" - Luke 22:36

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington

"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." and "The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." - Thomas Jefferson

?Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.? -Benjamin Franklin

"But if someone has a gun and is trying to kill you ... it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." - Dalai Lama
