This one certainly is.
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”  --- falsely attributed to Thomas Jefferson.

The above quote doesn&#039;t appear in any of TJ&#039;s works or speeches. No one who goes around claiming that TJ ever said or wrote such words can provide one scintilla of evidence for the claim.  

And then there&#039;s this quote by John Adams:
“Arms in the hands of citizens (may) be used at individual discretion…in private self-defense…”

If you read the entire passage, you will see that the above snippet was so wrenched from context that it is worthless and misleading. Standing alone, yes, it is also a bogus quote.</description>

		<description>Proven:

http://www.teachingamericanhistory.org/library/index.asp?document=324

Find it, if you will...and you can check all his speeches, if you want. You won&#039;t find it there, either.

He does mention requests to spend money on &quot;shovel ready&quot; projects (post offices and post roads), science, literature, diplomatic missions, and supplies. 

If he gave that speech today, half of Congress (the ones with &quot;R&quot; next to their name) would have sat on their hands...and maybe someone would have even shouted &quot;You Lie!&quot; at George.</description>

		<description>This quote has been proven to be a hoax - Washington never said it. It may sound good to NRA members, but it isn&#039;t true.</description>
