Did George Washington offer support for individual gun rights as meme says PolitiFact
No evidence exists that George Washington ever said this, "When government takes away citizens’ right to bear arms it becomes citizens’ duty to take away government’s right to govern", although wackos like Louie Gohmert and some on this Board believe he did.
This is another example why the far right reactionary political thugs and social cons must be made to vet every statement they make on issues. They will make things up in a heart beat to justify their nonsense.
