    “A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from  any who might attempt to abuse them. Which would include their own government.” – George Washington

    That's a purposeful misquote. Here's GW's real quote from his first annual address to Congress:

    "A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."
