Not free-for-all gun ownership.

He’s sadly mistaken on what the founders actually wrote into our founding documents.

Besides Jefferson was referencing the dangerous freedom of beginning the war of independence against the king in Great Britain, certainly not gun ownership

is from a letter to Madison by Jefferson, in which he was evaluating three different forms of government.

"Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable.
1. Without government, as among our Indians.
2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one.
3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics.

To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population.

The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it's evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem."

His net worth is $9.2 Million and $7.2 Million of that is the house in Malibu he just put up for sale. I mean, I'd be fine with $2 Million in the bank, but that's chump change in LA.
