Your ignorance is certainly telling. I am sure you are not alone in your ignorance yet all of you believe your uneducated opinion is actually worth something.

I have no idea who said 'the strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government,' and am pretty happy about that.

Your own ignorance is betrayed by your racist outlook on life and non-adherence to key Christian values and behaviour.

Here is another quote from the same person.

"I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”

@eladar said
Lol, how can you make an accurate judgment out of your ignorance?

All you can do is make clueless claims.

So you revert to your typical trash. You care not about the topic, all you eant to do is make personal insults and jabs. It is why you are a total waste and why people you might actually meet in person benefit from your time here.

Ah, you are selective in your appreciation of Jefferson quotes?

@eladar said
Lol, you are interested in the actual topic?

No, of course not. You are just your typical self.

Seriously, there is a relatively small core of usual suspects around here who are worthless pieces of trash.

Do you know who said that?

No, I do not know who wrote that. I do know who didn't.

Here is another

“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.”
– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28

Is this one real?

What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787

Quote the rest of the passage and it takes on a whole different meaning:


". . . the British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, & what is more wonderful, we have ...[text shortened]... o secure the U.S. state against foreign powers, not the private citizen against the U.S. government.
