Many do not recognize the fact as they ought, that Satan has got men fast asleep in sin and that it is his great device to keep them so. He does not care what we do if he can do that.

But if we awake the sleeping sinner he will gnash on us with his teeth. This is our work – to wake people up.

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees.

It is clear that we cannot go up another two orders of magnitude as we have climbed the last five.
