Second Amendment Carnival VII

Welcome to the seventh edition of the Second Amendment Carnival

...better late than never

Providing the best 2nd Amendment coverage the blogosphere has to offer.

The federal and State governments are in fact but different agents and trustees of the people, constituted with different powers, and designed for different purposes. The adversaries of the Constitution seem to have lost sight of the people altogether in their reasonings on this subject; and to have viewed these different establishments... as uncontrolled by any common superior... These gentlemen must here be reminded of their error. They must be told that the ultimate authority... resides in the people alone... --James Madison, Federalist 46.

Worthy of first mention is this post, from the War on Guns:

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