Onde está a diferença entre ter nossas armas sob nossa posse e sob nossa própria direção e tê-las sob a direção do Congresso? Se a nossa defesa é o verdadeiro objetivo de ter essas armas, em cujas mãos elas podem ser confiadas com mais propriedade, ou igual segurança para nós, como em nossas próprias mãos?
