| 2nd Amendment: [T]he advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Today we seek a moral basis for peace.... It cannot be a lasting peace if the fruit of it is oppression, or starvation, cruelty, or human life dominated by armed camps. It cannot be a sound peace if small nations must live in fear of powerful neighbors. It cannot be a moral peace if freedom from invasion is sold for tribute. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Roosevelt’s Foreign Policy: Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Unedited Speeches and Messages, Harper (1942). Edward M. Bennett, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Search for Victory: American-Soviet Relations, 1939-1945, pp. 5-6, Scholarly Resources, Inc. (1990). FDR attempted to convince Americans that the war in Europe affected U.S. security. ~ |
