"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms. . . disarm only those who are
neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. . . Such laws make things
worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to
encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked
with greater confidence than an armed man." 
-- Thomas Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774-1776, quoting from On Crimes
and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764
