'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.''
''No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms (within his own lands or
tenements).''
--- Jefferson
The whole of that Bill [of Rights] is a declaration of the right of the
people at large or considered as individuals...[I]t establishes some rights
of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a
right to deprive them of.
---Albert Gallatin to Alexander Addison, Oct 7, 1789, MS. in N.Y.
Hist. Soc.-A.G. Papers, 2.
The people are not to be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full
possession of them.
--- Zachariah Johnson, 3 Elliot, Debates at 646
The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have
a gun.
--- Patrick Henry, in the Virginia Convention on the ratification of the
Constitution
That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress
to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to
prevent the people of the United states who are peaceable citizens from
keeping their own arms...
