Patrick Henry quote: "Are we at last brought to such an humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in our own possession and under our own direction, and having them under the management of Congress. If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more property, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands."
