Found these interesting. Thought I would share. George Washington said:
"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the peoples' liberty's teeth"
"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are . . . the keystone under independence."
"The rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable."
"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference . . ."
"Firearms (of private citizens). . .deserve a place of honor with all that is good."
