It seems to be.

And yet another bogus Washington quote:

A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government

The actual quote:

A free people ought not only to be armed but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well digested plan is requisite: And their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories, as tend to render them independent on others, for essential, particularly for military supplies. ---George Washington's First Annual Message to Congress (January 8, 1790)

"A free people....for essential, particularly for military supplies."

TIL: George Washington considered military supplies to be essential for free people to own.

It's not really a fake quote, but one converted into something our dumbed-down society can comprehend.

This is like saying children's bibles are all fake.
