Blackstone 1768

"The right of self-defense is the first law of nature; in most governments
it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest
limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and when the right
of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever,
prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction."
- St. George Tucker, in American edition of Blackstone's 1768 "Commentaries on the Laws of England."
Interesting and worth keeping in the '' ammo" box.
Self Defence is not only a right, it is an Obligation.
