I have absolutely no doubt that a "horrid mischief" would ensue should we ever be disarmed (we but not me, like many others) as Paine suggests. If anyone doubts this just take a look at the horrid mischief inflicted upon us by our so called representatives while we have been armed. There are many quotes here that I had not seen before. Their width and breadth of meaning is boundless; so much so that it is almost too much for my poor old head. But, in the end I always feel better for having read their words. Thank you for taking the time to provide them here...
