Not even an actual Washington quote. Can we stop with the fake news around here?
General Rules:
-Keep it honest and accurate.
Here is 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."
Washington's First Annual Address to both Houses of Congress. January 8, 1790.
Washington was a strong proponent of national defense. He took the opportunity of his first State of the Union address to argue that Congress should promote the domestic manufacture of weapons and ammunition in the United States to avoid the supply troubles the Continental Army had faced during the Revolutionary War.
I always wondered why gun safety isn't taught in school? Civil service, as a prerequisite for US History. Or why the Rule of 72 isn't taught in math class. IE common sense things.
