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!!

:wb:       Good catch people.

Aut viam inveniam aut faciam- will find a way or I will make one".
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."  one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen."

—Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

"Terrorism is the best political weapon, for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death."
-- Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) German Nazi Dictator
 

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in

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.....

Before we can defeat our external enemies, we must first meet and defeat everything in ourselves that is weak, lazy, and cowardly; everything in our character that is materialistic rather than spiritual, which seeks weak compromise and accommodation rather than struggle and victory.

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

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom — go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!"

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

    http://www.guncite.com/gc2ndbog.html

    http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_Washington (lots of good Washington quotes - real ones - on this link)
"Ready to eat dirt and sweat bore solvent?" - Ask me how to become an RWVA volunteer!

      "...but he that stands it now, deserves the thanks of man and woman alike..."   Paine

     "If you can read this without a silly British accent, thank a Revolutionary War veteran" - Anon.

     "We have it in our power to begin the world over again" - Thomas Paine

     What about it, do-nothings? You heard the man, jump on in...

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 ?
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge
