"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, quoting Cesare Beccaria.
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. 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." - Thomas
Jefferson, proposed Virginia constitution, June 1776. 1 Thomas Jefferson
