""FOR A PEOPLE WHO ARE FREE, AND WHO MEAN TO REMAIN SO, A WELL-ORGANIZED AND ARMED MILITIA IS THEIR BEST SECURITY.""

Thomas Jefferson - Presidential writings
Quote by Thomas Jefferson on well-organized and armed militia
""...but if circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist.""
