"We have to
be very careful when we start abridging rights that the Founding
Fathers
thought very important. ...There might be circumstances
that people like my father
experienced in Birmingham, Alabama,
when, in fact, the police weren't going to
protect you. ...I
also don't think we get to pick and choose from the
Constitution.
...The Second Amendment is as important as the
First Amendment."
-- Condoleezza Rice

Second
Amendment to the
United States Constitution
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to
the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep
and bear arms, shall not be infringed." |
|
"No
free government was ever founded, or ever preserved its liberty,
without uniting the
characters of citizen and soldier in those destined for the
defense of the State. Such are a
well regulated Militia, composed of the freeholders, citizen,
and husbandman; who take up |
arms to preserve their property, as individuals, and their
rights as freemen."
-- James
Madison, United States Congress, Bill of Rights
Ratification, 1779
