"You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."
Admiral Yamamoto: Advising Japan's military leaders of the futility of an invasion of the mainland United States because of the widespread availability of guns. It has been theorized that this was a major contributing factor in Japan's decision not to land on North America early in the war when they had vastly superior military strength. This delay gave our industrial infrastructure time to gear up for the conflict and was decisive in our later victory.

Everything I've read says that quote was a fabrication.
Agreed. Up there with the other mendacious "quotes" of Hitler about the new gun control law and George Orwell about the "rough men standing ready in the night."

You don't mean this?
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
The Simpsons are riddled with pro gun stuff - why when Maggie gets scanned in the opening credits the register reads "NRA"...
And Lisa is the plot mover, she's no Smithers

That's exactly what I mean.

In the Cartridge Family episode, Lisa says something about the 2nd Amendment being an antiquated remnant of a revolutionary era and condemns guns...

The episode when Homer gets a gun is very anti.
I don't know - Krusty's summation of the purpose of the Second Amendment, while humorous, is essentially correct.
I take issue with that.
Whether or not it is an actual quote it is absolutely true.
Don't disrespect the People that are out there on the front lines.
That really effin pisses me off.
Get a grip. If it is NOT a quote - and it isn't - then declaring it to be one is FALSE. Period.
Again, get a grip. There is no disrespect stated, intended or implied. That freedom isn't free is not disputed; that it exists solely because it is defended is not in dispute. That George Orwell (Eric Blair) ever said the quote attributed to his IS. Grasp the distinction.
Your anger is due wholly to your inability to understand the issue. See above.
Here we go again.
No, Scrivener is justified this time. Blitz1 whiffed.
Scrivener doesn't disagree with the quote's sentiment, only with its attribution to Orwell.
Somebody here needs to use this as a signature line. Seriously.
