Boldness, Enterprise & Independence




"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walk."

Thomas Jefferson

So much for the leftard argument that only the militia, (National Guard) should have weapons.

Straight out of the mouth of one of the Founding Fathers!
