What would you really do if the Second Amendment were abolished, and the Government came for your guns?
I sincerely hope I would have the courage to make them pry mine from my cold dead hands. I mean when I think about it, I know I wouldn’t want to live in an America disarmed. You think the Government is bad now, just wait until we’re all left defenseless. So, I’m going to leave you with some qoutes from some great Americans, and ask again, what would you do if this day ever came?

Are we at last brought to such an humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms under our own possession and under our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?
-Patrick Henry

Americans have the right and advantage of being armed – unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
– James Madison,

The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.”
– Alexander Hamilton

“One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offense to keep arms.”
– Constitutional scholar and Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story,

Men trained in arms from their infancy, and animated by the love of liberty, will afford neither a cheap or easy conquest.
– From the Declaration of the Continental Congress, July 1775

“As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives [only] moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion to your walks.”
– Thomas Jefferson

The great object is, that every man be armed. [...] Every one who is able may have a gun.”
– Patrick Henry

That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United states who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms…
– Samuel Adams

False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. 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.
-Thomas Jefferson

“To disarm the people… was the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”
– George Mason

The right to buy weapons is the right to be free.
– A.E. Van Vogt

Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. [...] the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.
– Hubert H. Humphrey,

The whole of the Bill [of Rights] is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals… It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of.
– Albert Gallatin

Whether the authorities be invaders or merely local tyrants, the effect of such [gun control] laws is to place the individual at the mercy of the state, unable to resist.
– Robert Anson Heinlein,

Strict gun laws are about as effective as strict drug laws…It pains me to say this, but the NRA seems to be right: The cities and states that have the toughest gun laws have the most murder and mayhem.
– Mike Royko, Chicago Tribune

The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose.
– James Earl Jones (I know, I was as surpirsed as you are!)
