[quote=Anonymous]Let's compare what Robert O'Rourke said and what Briscoe Cane said, with what some other Americans who were knowledgable on the matter said. You decide who is being more American:

Robert O'Rourke: “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.”

Briscoe Cane: "My AR is ready for you Robert Francis."

Thomas Jefferson: "Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it."

Samuel Adams: "Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can."

Patrick Henry: "Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us."

Nathanael Greene: "I am determined to defend my rights and maintain my freedom or sell my life in the attempt."

Thomas Jefferson (again): "In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution."

Samuel Adams: (again) "The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks."

Marquis de Lafayette: “When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties.”

John Parker (commander of the American forces who resisted the British attempt to confiscate Americans' firearms): “Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here[/quote]
