Greetings!
Sounds like this guy was right:
"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the
American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. From the
hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events occurences and
tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle
and pistol are equally indispensable. The very atmosphere of firearms
everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor
with all that's good."
- George Washington in a speech to Congress, January 7, 1790.
Best wishes,
