Gun control quooootes from the campaign for liberty website.

"The great object is, that every man be armed."
-Patrick Henry

"To disarm the people - that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
- George Mason

"What, sir, is the use of militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. . . Whenever Government means to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise a standing army upon its ruins."
- Elbridge Gerry

"I ask, who are the militia? They consist of now of the whole people, except a few public officers."
- George Mason

"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

"One man with a gun can control 100 without one."
- Vladimir Lenin

"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
- Mao Zedong

"We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?"
- Josef Stalin

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so."
- Adolf Hitler

Unfortunately, it appears to be a downward spiral. The confiscation of the American right to defend oneself is, and will continue, to lead to increased dependence on- and thus power of- our government. This dependence on government is exactly how countries gradually accept tyranny and a police state.
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
- John Dalberg-Action

Thoughts?

That's the argument I always make when people ask why anyone would want to own an assault rifle.

Now, I don't think for a second that Obama is going to be some oppressive dictator. An oppressive, Socialist idiot perhaps, but a well-intentioned one. But people forget that Hitler was elected. There could come a day when our idiotic voting populous elects a dictator in disguise, and if Obama takes our guns away then we'll have no means to combat it.

Beyond the threat of our own government, we have foreign countries to think about. As we've seen in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's harder than shit to invade a country where everyone is armed. I'd like to see someone try to invade the United States in the South, where guns out number people 30-1.

No, if we get invaded it will be at some pussy city like Seattle or San Francisco. They sure as hell aren't coming up through Houston or New Orleans.
