| "The
right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as
the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong
moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will
generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the
people to resist and triumph over them...." |

| "...The
one thing that is absolute is that the Second Amendment guarantees a
personal and individual right to keep and bear arms, and prohibits
government from disarming the people...." |
