Thomas Jefferson, Founding Father and third President of the United States, once wrote of how denying a person their natural rights is akin to denying them part of their humanity. Applied to the right to self defense, which is supported by the right to keep and bear arms, Jefferson’s words are illustrative in a situation where men and women are forced to scream and plead and finally fight for their lives with “kitchen tools” instead of pulling a handgun from their pocket or purse and teaching an aggressor a hard but valuable lesson.
