A Quote by Jeff Cooper on citizenship, constitution, duty, fatherhood, individuality, military, people, responsibility, understanding, and weapons

All the people constitute the militia - according to the Founding Fathers. Therefore every able-bodied man has a duty under the Constitution to become part of the "well-regulated" militia, specifically to understand and perform well with the individual weapon currently issued to the regular establishment. . . . Thus one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen.
