Sam Adams

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom,
go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samuel Adams

"That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms ... " -- Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at 86-87 (Pierce & Hale, eds., Boston, 1850)

Arms from Arts : A Listing of Players and Their Arms


For those with historical, cultural, or artistic interest in the use of arms in films and other entertainment venues, the website internet movie fire arms data base offers a thorough selection of arms details. Whether the data base is correct is beyond the scope of this post. It seems thorough.
The website offers details such as the weapons used by Elizabeth Swann in The Pirates of the Caribbean.

According to the website, in The Curse of the Black Pearl, Elizabeth used a Brown Bess Flintlock Musket.
In Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, Elizabeth fired Flintlock Pistols.
