They, the makers of the Constitution: conferred, as against the government, the right to be let alone - the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men. Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficial ... the greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding...
——Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, 1928

The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun.
—— Patrick Henry

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor
determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better
for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an
unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
—— Jefferson's Commonplace Book, 1774-1776 - quoting from "On Crimes and Punishment",
by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764

A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.
