A.E. Samaan
“Madame la Guillotine" is the younger sister, the ideological sibling of the 2nd Amendment; both were conceived of a need to purge overbearing governments.”
A.E. Samaan, H.H. Laughlin: American Scientist, American Progressive, Nazi Collaborator

A.E. Samaan
“The 2nd Amendment exists for the same reason "Madame la Guillotine" existed; to cut off the head of a corrupt governing class.”
A.E. Samaan
