“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government” - Thomas Jefferson
“The right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.” - Hubert Humphrey
Both are similar in context to the quote you gave. I have the greatest respect for both of these men.

I believe it was Charlton Heston.
He slipped it in whilst playing Moses.
Just after ''Thou shalt not kill''.
