Kughn got part of a quote by a Framer correct but missed the part that provides context. Benjamin Franklin said "They who can give up essential Liberty to obtain a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety".
Notice the part about obtaining giving up liberty to obtain a "little temporary" safety. Those who want control over automatic weapons believe this will provide more than temporary safety. That can be the point of disagreement. But let's get the quote right. 
I cannot find any reference to the second part being a quote from a Founding Father: "An armed man is a citizen, an unarmed man is a subject.” 
This is pretty typical of posts on patriot websites. So engrossed in developing a world-view to support their beliefs, they don't check facts.
I agree one can be protected by owning a gun. And I believe owning a gun can lead to your death. I also believe it is hard to regulate guns, and the benefits may be limited. It just depends on which provides more safety.
