“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.”
–Noah Webster, 1787; Oh yeah and arms are only needed for hunting, no one needs an assault rifle for hunting. In fact you really don't need a rifle for hunting. When you're eating bugs, you won't have enough energy to hunt. Democrats 20th-21st Centuries
