Tonight on the show we're discussing one of the hotter topics recently, the 2nd amendment. We're looking at it from the point of view of the founding fathers and how important it was to them that we have the right to bear arms.

Here are some of the quotes we referenced tonight:

"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
George Washington
First President of the United States

"The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constitution."
Thomas Jefferson
Third President of the United States
