Sic Semper Tyrannis, or for those who don't speak latin:
.....from my cold, dead hands!

hahaha!!!!
Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase meaning "thus always to tyrants." The full quotation, Sic semper evello mortem Tyrannis (literally : "Thus always I rip off tyrants' life"), is sometimes mistranslated as "death to tyrants" or "down with the tyrant."

The phrase molon labe (Ancient Greek μολὼν λαβέ molṑn labé; reconstructed Ancient Greek pronunciation [molɔːn labé]; Modern Greek pronunciation [moˈlon laˈve]) means "Come and take them".

Yes, the state seal shows one man standing over another (the tyrant). Therefore, "thus always to tyrants" not death because this what the picture implies, literally.
What I find offensive is the misinterpretation of the past when the founders made it so easy to read. For instance"the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. What's equally offensive is the fact that these politicians think they're smarter than the founders.

Actually, I think the standing person on the Seal is the goddess Virtus, or "virtue".

There has been some recent PC actions to cover her one naked boobie. Don't know if that is official.
