Misrepresenting our Founding Fathers (to include other notable free-thinkers)

I've found myself in few uncomfortable situations where people quote mine the Founding Fathers to justify some of their views on modern politics. However, in many cases, sometimes these quotes are completely out-of-place/out-of-context, and sometimes they're just downright fabricated.
Take this CNN article I just read about Thomas Jefferson and see for yourself how the debate on guns has brought our "paradoxical" 200-year old man to the forefront of the discussion when, in many cases, he should not be included at all.
Jefferson and Guns
Research is very important in representing yourself well in an argument, and knowing how to do a simple Google search on the internet can mean the difference between, for example, advocating for gay rights and downright squashing them beneath your ignorant foot.
