Thomas Jefferson: controversial and astute. Love him or hate him (but really, how could you hate him?), he was one heck of a guy.
Some quotes of interest:
“It has been said the greatest volume of sheer brainpower in one place occurred when Jefferson dined alone…” John Kennedy
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” -Thomas Jefferson
That’s my kind of guy.
PS: “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.” also, Thomas Jefferson
