heehee, just saw this obvious paraphrase over on the Lee-Enfield Forum.

"Cry Haddock, and let slip the frogs of Gore!"

I have probably 10-15 pages of GOOD RKBA quotes, these are some select ones.

"I'm Hiking, I'm hunting; I'm floating, I'm fishing." My Pa.

"The Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent
the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping
their own arms." - Samuel Adams

"To disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave
them..." - George Mason

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither
inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for
the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage
than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with
greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson

"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until
they try to take it." -Thomas Jefferson

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear
arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in
government." - Thomas Jefferson

"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be
properly armed." - Alexander Hamilton

IF you're not willing to die for your rights/beliefs, don't try to take mine.

“Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by killing all those who opposed them.”
--Unknown

"One hundred rounds do not constitute firepower. One hit constitutes firepower."
--General Merritt “Red Mike” Edson, USMC

"When men find they must inevitably perish, they willingly resolve to die with their comrades and with their arms (weapons) in their hands."
--Flavius Vegetius Renatus, AD 378

“The mission of the Marine Corps rifle squad is to locate, close with and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver or to repel the enemy’s assault by fire and close combat.”
