[quote=pri_dk]”A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.” – Thomas Jefferson
Another popular one. But it was actually Gerald Ford that said it.
But it it gets mo cred if it comes from a Founding Father…[/quote]
Pri: Yeah, but did Thomas Jefferson ever fall out of an airplane? Or have Chevy Chase make fun of him?
Cred maybe, but who’s more lovable? Plus, Ford played football for Michigan, didn’t he?
Jefferson was a candy-ass Virginian member of the landed gentry and would have probably preferred lacrosse or some shit.
In all seriousness, I get your point, but it doesn’t do anything to negate the importance of the 2nd Amendment and why the Founding Fathers put it right after the 1st Amendment.
