Every man who ever worked on this thing told you what would happen. The scientists signed petition after petition, but nobody listened. There was a choice.

—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
“A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
