"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed;
a well armed and well regulated militia being the best security
of a free country; but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms
shall be compelled to render military service in person." | by: | James Madison
(1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President |
