"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 prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one."
--Thomas Jefferson
Or, as Charlton Heston more succinctly put it, "You can have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead hands." Of course, Charlton Heston also said, "I love you man," in a Bud Light commercial, but I hardly think that in any way diminishes his other point. It's not like he was doing Viagra commercials for god's sake.
