Thomas Jefferson in his Commonplace Book copied the words of Italian philosopher Cesare Beccaria, and these words are as true today as they were more than 200 years ago: False is the idea of utility that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils, except the destruction of liberty. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such nature. They who disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. . . serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Elsewhere Jefferson declared, "No freeman shall ever be debarred from the use of arms." I hope that this manual will help you avoid being disarmed by a corrupt government.
