They explicitly state that the threat of violence was meant to keep them in check. I guess Thomas Jefferson just needed more politico context though.
Are you talking about when Jefferson said, "When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
Yeah... That's most like misattributed or faked...

What about his:
quote:
No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.
Or are the first three drafts of Virginia's Constitution "misattributed" or "faked"?
Or what about:
quote:
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure.
Or is his letter to William Stephens Smith "misattributed" or "faked"?
Or how about:
quote:
The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed
Or is his letter to Major Cartwright "misattributed" or "faked"?
Why don't you guys go back to arguing that, "18th century, muskets, blah, blah, blah" - than trying to rewrite something that is "unrewriteable" - Thomas Jefferson - the author of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, passionate advocate for individual rights and the formal Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution and the third President of the U.S. was passionately in favor of the individual right to keep and bear arms.
