^7 and 10.
I understand the intent and context of the 18th century thinking/writing. I think Jefferson not only advocated for armed populace, but also something to the effect that a revolution is necessary every couple decades - bloody, if necessary. I just think that the context must be considered differently today.
If not, then shouldn't Timothy McVeigh be lauded as a hero to those who use the quotes above to justify lack of limitations on personal gun ownership?
