10 Thomas Jefferson Quotes…. That Are Totally Fake

#3. “The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.”

This is one that as gun owners, we really wanted it to be true. It’s such a badass quote that it just HAD to be Jefferson, but it isn’t. So sad. It’s appeared in a ton of books about Jefferson though, and that ought to tell you how quickly BS can spread, even in analog publications. No less than five different books wrongly attributed it to him. Don’t make that mistake. Always check and double-check your sources. Just because it’s in a book, doesn’t make it true.
