Original Note:
Only the first 10 words of the Washington quote are accurate. The rest are false and misleading. https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/05-04-02-0361 Washington’s speech, given in January 1790, focused on establishing national defense and the idea that the nation shouldn’t have to depend on foreign entities for its defense. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/20/fact-check-washington-quote-second-amendment-taken-out-context/3222186001/
