❝ A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves. ❞
~ Bertrand de Jouvenelℹ️ The Reader’s Digest v. 54 - 1949 Pg. 7
❝ If you are for gun control, then you are not against guns, because you'll need the police's guns to take away other people's guns. You just believe that only the Government should be allowed to have guns. ❞
❝ Gun control defined: The theory that people who are willing to ignore laws against rape, torture, kidnapping, theft, and murder will obey a law which prohibits them from owning a firearm. ❞
❝ 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. ❞
❝ Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. ❞
~ C. S. Lewisℹ️ The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment" (1949), p. 292
❝ When only cops have guns, it's called a "police state". ❞
