Elie Mystal
“The Second Amendment could be rewritten to say "White Supremacy, being necessary to the security of a free State, the rights of white people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" without any appreciable difference to the laws and the rights of gun ownership as currently experienced.”
― Elie Mystal, Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution

Thomas Jefferson
“In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.”
― Thomas Jefferson
