""George Mason's Fairfax County Militia Plan, 1775:
"And we do each of us, for ourselves respectively, promise and engage to keep a good firelock in proper order, and to furnish ourselves as soon as possible with, and always keep by us, one pound of gunpowder, four pounds of lead, one dozen gunflints, and a pair of bullet moulds, with a cartouch box, or powder horn, and bag for balls.""
And, there it is. "a good firelock", "one pound of powder", etc.................
Sounds like a reasonable amount of firepower an individual should possess to me.
When I compare that to the cache of weapons, in both number and content of some of the people I know, I can only come to the conclusion that they have serious mental issues. They don't need more guns, they need a couch and a good therapist. And, BTW, in my honest opinion; That would be most of them.
What in the hell are they so afraid of?
