It pains me to say this about anything in life but...I was wrong about something. I had this following quote posted here, and it was brought to my attention that it wasn't actually Thomas Jefferson who said this. He found the quote from somewhere else and included it in one of his essays.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
What makes this even more painful is that I was notified by a true left wing hippie while debating with people on MSNBC's facebook page. But hey, the guy pointed it out, after calling my blog a propaganda page, and after looking into I found he was right.
This doesn't change the fact that I consider the statement to be true.
Who'se quote is it??
