Armed people are free. No state can control those who have the machinery and the will to resist, no mob can take their liberty and property. And no 220-pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110-pound woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out … People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically "right." Guns ended that, and a social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work.
~ L. Neil Smith (from The Probability Broach)
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

A thousand times "AMEN!!!" What well put words of wisdom! It is unfortunate that we have to keep explaining this to "the others"...
so odd how many people actually desire to be ruled. Must be a sad person on the inside, really, to have so little hope or personal faith...
Rev. Paul,
A great quote. It succinctly captures the reasoning behind the Second Amendment.
