A Quote From Thomas Jefferson

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”

Soap Box Ravings asks:

What, was the straw that "broke the camels back" and ignited the Revolutionary War? If you think you know the answer, post a comment and let me hear your theory. A hint: The war was started when the first shots were fired at L******** and C*******. Waiting to hear from you.
