Guard Liberty with Force, if Necessary; Patrick Henry

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." --Patrick Henry, speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788

Hence, the reason for the Second Amendment.  Giving in to gun control is giving up the force we have available to us to guard the public liberty.
