Opinions will vary and this you have proved
GUN CONTROL
Quote James Madison
“The right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; a well armed and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country.”
“Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.”
"Wherever the real power in a government lies, there is a danger of oppression. In our government, the real power lies in the majority of the Community... Government is the mere instrument of the major number of constituents.”
“Whenever there is an interest and a power to do wrong, wrong will generally be done and not less readily by a powerful and interested party, than by a prince.”
“I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedoms of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”
“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.”
