Well, not originated by me, or specifically aimed at Obummer.
But, Noah Webster said it most succinctly and most eloquently:
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe.
The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword;
because the whole body of the people are armed,
and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be,
on any pretence, raised in the United States.”
That is why the Founders looked to local militias as much to provide a check—
in modern parlance, a “deterrent”—against government tyranny as against an invading foreign power.
Guns are individuals’ own personal nuclear deterrent against their own government gone rogue.
Therefore, a heavily armed citizenry is the ultimate deterrent against tyranny.
