I hate to poop in the pool, but Jefferson never said that, nor did any of the other founding fathers. As a matter of fact, a shocking number of accepted 2nd Amendment quotes by the Founding Fathers; are spurious.
Don't believe me? Google "Spurious 2nd Amendment quotes by the Founding Fathers" and prepared to be very upset at what you thought was true. Don't get me wrong, I am not a gun-hating liberal.....I have an FFL and 71 guns...but when we bring forth our arguments before liberals we need to be accurate.
By the way, that famous quote credited Hitler is also spurious. He never said it.
