Fear Is The Passion Of

For My Part, Whatever Anguish Of Spirit It May Cost, I Am Willing To Know The Whole Truth; To Know The Worst And Provide For It.

The Militia Is Our Ultimate Safety. We Can Have No Security Without It. The Great Object Is That Every Man Be Armed.

The Officers Of Congress, May Come Upon You Now, Fortified With All The Terrors Of Paramount Federal Authority. Excisemen Taxmen May Come In Multitudes; For The Limitation Of Their Numbers No Man Knows. They May, Unless The General Government Be Restrained ... Go Into Your Cellars And Rooms, And Search, Ransack, And Measure, Everything You Eat, Drink, And Wear.

Have We The Means Of Resisting Disciplined Armies, When Our Only Defense, The Militia, Is Put In The Hands Of Congress? Of What Service Would Militia Be To You When, Most Probably, You Will Not Have A Single Musket In The State? For, As Arms Are To Be Provided By Congress, They May Or May Not Provide Them.

I Know Of No Way Of Judging The Future But By The Past.
