"that every man is a sovereign citizen having the right to bear arms"

   "In the United States our people have acted on a higher and better principle, that every man is a sovereign citizen having the right to bear arms, and that only a small percentage of the physical force is required in practical military service."--Lieutentant General Nelson A. Miles, [The Evening Star, Washington, D.C., Sunday Morning, February 17, 1907. No. 100.--No. 16,947. Pg. 31]
