"This may be regarded as the true palladium of liberty. The right of self defense is the first law of nature; in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction. In England, the people have been disarmed, generally under the specious pretext of preserving the game. True it is, that their bill of rights seems at first view to counteract this policy, but the right of bearing arms is limited to protestants, and the words 'suitable to their condition and degree' have been so interpreted, that not one man in five hundred can keep a gun in his house without being subject to a penalty."
