Want a dangerous reputation in today's world?
Quote, learn, recite, and teach the words of our Founding Fathers.
The answer is plain.
"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."

---Tenche Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.

JFK's quote about "Ask NOT what your country can do for you", is now "Where is my free sh**, (and my free phone)...
