There are just too many to pick only one as a favorite.  As a matter of fact, one was cribbed almost word for word by someone else, which I guess is high praise indeed.

Dare you consider what your family will write about you?

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Short and to the point.   Funny, too.
