Tote 9: Do you happen to have a reference for this quote? I've seen it off and on for a year or two, but have not been able to find anything that verifies that Jefferson actually wrote that, and and I'm beginning to doubt that he did. It certainly doesn't "sound" much like him.

Thanks - jwp

I cannot say for certain that Jefferson made that qoute, but I am
certain he made these.

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. 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.

The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... such laws serve rather to encourage than to prevent homocides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

I liked No.15. Which one do you like?
