"But we do believe in a body of free citizens ready and sufficient to take care of themselves and of the governments which they have set up to serve them. In our constitutions themselves we have commanded that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," and our confidence has been that our safety in times of danger would lie in the rising of the nation to take care of itself, as the farmers rose at Lexington."
- President Woodrow Wilson, Message in the opening of the 64th Congress. [The Democratic Banner, Mt. Vernon, Ohio, December 10, 1915.--No. 99. Pg. 9.]
