“But in all countries where personal freedom is valued . . . [1877]

Commentaries On The Liberty Of The Subject, By James Paterson, “But in all countries where personal freedom is valued, however much each individual may rely on legal redress, the right of each to carry arms–and these the best and the sharpest for his own protection in case of extremity, is a right of nature indelible and irrepressible, and the more it is sought to be repressed the more it will recur.”, 1877
