"We find it perplexing that there are people who do not realize that a right
may be neither granted nor withdrawn by the State. If the Bill of Rights
were repealed, the right to keep and bear arms would still exist, since it
was to defend that right that the Constitution was established. (See the
Declaration of Independence.) Thus the state may destroy me, but it may not
rescind my right to self-defense. This all seems pretty clear, but
frequently I find people who do not understand it."
