  • George Washington: Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself

    Posted on March 30th, 2009 qbit 2 comments

    “Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people’s liberty teeth keystone… the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable… more than 99% of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. When firearms go, all goes, we need them every hour.”

    -George Washington, 1st session of Congress

    1. This quote has been proven to be a hoax – Washington never said it. It may sound good to NRA members, but it isn’t true.

    2. Are all these hoaxes as well?

      besides, I’d hardly say its “proven” to be a hoax.
