In our own native land, in defense of the freedom that is our birthright and which we ever enjoyed till the late violation of it. for the protection of our property, acquired solely by the honest industry of our fore-fathers and ourselves, against violence actually offered, we have taken up arms. we shall lay them down when hostilities shall cease on the part of the aggressors, and all danger of their being renewed shall be removed, and not before.

In Our Own Native Land, In Defense

Thomas Jefferson
In our own native land, in defense of the freedom that is our birthright and which we ever enjoyed till the late violation of it. for the protection of our property, acquired solely by the honest industry of our fore-fathers and ourselves, against violence actually offered, we have taken up arms. we shall lay them down when hostilities shall cease on the part of the aggressors, and all danger of their being renewed shall be removed, and not before.

Way Should Equipment
In defense of our persons and properties under actual violation, we took up arms. when that violence shall be removed, when hostilities shall cease on the part of the aggressors, hostilities shall cease on our part also.
Defense Arms Violence
We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.
Fear Thinking Animal
When we say that the arabs are the aggressors and we defend ourselves — this is only half the truth. as regards our security and life we defend ourselves and our moral and physical position is not bad. we can face the gangs... and were we allowed to mobilize all our forces we would have no doubts about the outcome... but the fighting is only one aspect of the conflict which is in its essence a political one. and politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves. militarily, it is we who are on the defensive who have the upper hand but in the political sphere they are superior.
Fighting Essence Political
To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association-the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
Wisdom Father Exercise
No one may threaten or commit violence ('aggress') against another man's person or property. violence may be employed only against the man who commits such violence; that is, only defensively against the aggressive violence of another. in short, no violence may be employed against a non-aggressor. here is the fundamental rule from which can be deduced the entire corpus of libertarian theory.
