WHY I OWN GUNS
“No slaves shall keep any arms whatever, nor pass, unless with written orders for his master or employer, or in his company, with arms from one place to another. Arms in possession of a slave contrary to this prohibition shall be forfeited to him who will seize them.” ~ A Bill Concerning Slaves, Virginia Assembly, 1779
“All military type firearms are to be handed in immediately … The SS, SA and Stahlhelm give every respectable German man the opportunity of campaigning with them. Therefore anyone who does not belong to one of the above named organizations and who unjustifiably nevertheless keeps his weapon … must be regarded as an enemy of the national government.” ~ SA Oberfhrer of Bad Tolz, March 1933.
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms has been recognized by the General Government; but the best security of that right after all is, the military spirit, that taste for martial exercises, which has always distinguished the free citizens of these states … Such men form the best barrier to the liberties of America.” ~ Gazette of the United States, October 14, 1789
