In light of the bump stock ban becoming official, here is a friendly reminder from a founding father:
No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms. – Thomas Jefferson, first draft of the Virginia Constitution
I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery. – Our nation’s third president, Thomas Jefferson, 1787
In Jefferson’s original letter to James Madison he used the Latin:
Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem.
It has also been translated as, “I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude.”
