My favorite quote was spoken by Thomas Jefferson. It is as follows: "The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." This is a beautiful quote in itself. It demonstrates that even in the late eighteenth century, the founding fathers of this country had the foresight to predict what might come of this country centuries down the road. People argue that the second amendment was reasonable for the time period in which it was established; yet if this was spoken by one who assisted with supporting the Constitution's ratification, the amendment was clearly put in place for the exact threat which is taking place today. Thomas Jefferson was brilliant.
