"...it cannot be doubted that there are more arms in possession of the people, and belonging to them, than could be required or needed under any emergency. Every one admits that the great arm of defence is the people...."
- Mr. George M. Keim, U.S. Representative of Pennsylvania, June 6, 1840. [Volume of Speeches Delivered in Congress, 1840: REPORT ON THE MILITIA. Pg. 6]
