George Washington’s Strong Opinion on Gun Control
Jul 13, 2021 12:17:50 #
Lot's of other Founder thoughts as well.
George Washington - “A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.”
Patrick Henry - “Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.”
Noah Webster - “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.”
George Mason - “To disarm the people…is the most effectual way to ens***e them.”
Samuel Adams - “The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”
There are more, of course.

President Barak Hussein Obama on gun control.
" If we can set it up where you can't unlock your phone unless you got the right fingerprint, why can't we do the same thing for our guns ? "

We have the technology but the NRA blocked the use of it.

Did they? All I know is that it didn't happen and it doesn't need to. Get rid of gangs and 95% of your gun crime goes away. If you live in certain areas you should be forewarned. Local governments are letting LOTS of violent criminals out of jails and prisons to make war on their own constituents with the thought of bending their wills. These vampires are using crime against you.
Thomas Jefferson - “The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They 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.”

Brilliant man Thomas Jefferson. His bed opened two ways...get in one side at night and rollout in his office in the morning ready to go to work or if he woke in the night to jot down important ideas.

Where do gangs get guns? They don’t go to the gun store. So illegal sales and theft.

Thanks for the info. Have been on OPP for some time, love to insult the stupid libs. I live across the state from you in Elko county. My handle is to honor an early pioneer in Calf, Nevada and Arizona. Though not a relative I have a rifle that he bought in 1881 in central Arizona. Boggs was involved in at lest one small battle with Apaches. It is not clear if the rifle was used at that time. I do not think that was but is still a piece of history. Have a great day. Ed
