Great words of George Washington ? ?? Apparently not authentic.  I do apologize.  Looks like everything written these days must be verified as not being false or disinformation for that matter.    sheeesh!!

I've seen that quote before, but have always questioned its veracity.

What is Washington doing talking about prairie wagons?

Do you know the original source?

Good quote, but it does not sound like GW, nor does the wagon comment make sense.
Unrelated to firearms laws, but GW's farewell address is well documented and is very applicable to our current day.....

There's a few articles online about the "Liberty Teeth" quote... Unfortunately, it seems to be an invention.

   Yep, we'll look pretty silly as "Rev War experts" putting out bogus founder quotes - and this is one of them:

lots of my favorite quotes will need to be  deleted  :wall: ;D
One reference provided refered to our democracy , I have never seen anything in founders writings or thoughts to conclude we were founded as 'democracy'

I am of the opinion the princeton president invented the term "make the world safe for democracy"

is there a link to exact founders quotes suitable for use at our AS ?
