Great quotes. As I am answering from my phone I do not have handy the page of similar quotes from the founders and others that give validation that the constitution is not about hunting or target shooting, but individual protection against tyranny.
Also concerning your tagline...a pinch frame SAA would be nice to own. The closest I have is a 1961 2nd generation. I do have a thing about early bisley models which of course is the first to use the cross frame cylinder release.
