Bogus. Jefferson never said it.

Your site says they have no evidence that Jefferson said that and he probably did not say it. But no evidence that he said it , is not the same as evidence that he did not say it.

So " Bogus. Jefferson never said that " is not necessarily true.

No, look closely at what you're looking at. That's the Monticello
group. They have access to virtually every word ever written by
Jefferson and preserved, at UVa, Princeton, Lib. of Congress, and
UMass, and some of the best researchers in the business. They're VERY
cautious about claiming spurious quotes, and they don't do it until
they've turned over every leaf.

The fact that it first appeared in a 2007 quote from a NOVEL titled
_On A Hill They Call Capital: A Revolution is Coming_, published by
"Freestate Press" with NO CITATION should give it away. The fact that
it appears in variants on the Web is more evidence that it's made up.
There are no citations attached to any of the quotes on the Web. Take
a look.

There are dozens of bogus Jefferson quotes around, many of them
created by the gun nutz. Here are some more regarding the second
amendment: http://tinyurl.com/ox7p9sk
