I read this article by gun-bigot, Susan Nielson of The Oregonian, and immediately thought of the paraphrase of this quote.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
Thomas Jefferson
My paraphrase wasn’t this nice, or civil, and I am very happy I went and looked for it.
