Quote:John Adams on 2A

From iGeek
❝ Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion in private self-defense. ❞
~ John Adams ℹ️
Defense of Constitutions of USA p. 471 (1788) 



Longer quote: "To suppose arms in the hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private self-defense, or by partial orders of towns, counties, or districts of a state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that liberty can be enjoyed by no man; it is a dissolution of the government. The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws."
