Firearms Refresher

“(The Constitution preserves) the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation...(where) the 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


“What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.”

~ Thomas Jefferson


“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual State…. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.”

~ Alexander Hamilton


“Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not.”

~ Thomas Jefferson
