Second Amendment quote with flying eagle Tshirt: A well-armed populace is the best defence against tyranny. The Founding Fathers knew that the right to keep and bear arms was paramount to a free and democratic society. Citizens are entitled to protect themselves from governmental tyranny, and when governments disarm their own people, it is for authoritarian and dictatorial goals. Fight for your constitutional 2nd Amendment rights - it is what guarantees all the rest of them.
