Morning. So I go over to #TGDN right now and see that the top image there is this:

Retweeted 175 times. It’s a bogus quote:

A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.

The real quote:

A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.

I think it’s fitting that they’re peddling BS.

GO VIRAL!!! Derp.
