“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.” Thomas Jefferson, (Quoting Cesare Beccaria)

 

and Thomas Jefferson's corollary to Cesare Beccaria's thought..."The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it"

- Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum -

“Knowledge is the comprehensive embodiment of imagination that surfaces in observation and finally ripens through the reinforcement of experience thereby inculcating knowledge. This in fact is the short story of life.”

“Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself”

"The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it"

 

"We currently have no evidence that Thomas Jefferson said or wrote, 'The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it' or any of its listed variations."

-The Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia (http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/beauty-second-amendment-quotation)

 

Which leads us to:

“Quotation, n: The act of repeating erroneously the words of another."

-Ambrose Bierce

 

edit: turns out the story behind the other one is incorrect as well: http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/laws-forbid-carrying-armsquotation
