Duty to a Right?

[edit]

In the two components of Insurrectionist Theory, the second is the 'duty to the right of revolution ...', but then later it's mentioned that it differs from the right of revolution. Also, how does a duty to a right work? What's going on here?

Jefferson’s quote

[edit]

There is no record of Jefferson ever saying or writing the following: “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."

So I don’t know why it is included in this article. 2600:1702:4380:5610:183:B3DD:D19F:66B5 (talk) 02:30, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The source listed even states that the quote is "spurious" lol. I tagged it as disputed and found this page from the source website that backs up your claim and gives a line that Jefferson did write in a draft ("No freemen shall be debarred the use of arms") so maybe that could be included instead?
