The Green Gun

Gun safety, politics, & perspective from a Libertarian leaning environmentalist. The purpose of this blog is to shed more light on the subject of safe & legal gun use in the USA with the aim of dispelling much of the fear that surrounds guns & gun ownership by those who are not familiar with firearms.

a few quotes

I haven't updated this in awhile, but I should. Needless to say I'm terribly excited about the Supreme Court taking up the issue of whether the 2nd Amendment grants individuals the right to bear arms. The decision they come to will have profound repercussions for both the 2008 election and for life in America in general.

And on that note, here are a few quotes.

"Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can."
Samuel Adams

"The Constitution shall never be construed... to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."
Samuel Adams

"Who is the Militia? The Militia is all of the people"
George Mason

and a few dozen others...
