“Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance.

The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government.
