Help finding Solzhenitsyn quote on 2A?

[sb_pete]

I recently read (I think here) a quote somebody posted from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn that went something like:

"when Solzhenitsyn came to the US, somebody asked him what he admired most about our government. He replied, "Your bill of rights." They responded, "Oh, you must mean the first amendment - the protection of free speech?" He replied, "No, your Second Amendment, for it is the one that gives teeth to all the others."

I can't find that quote anymore. I think the poster was paraphrasing in the post I read anyways (maybe not). Does anyone know what the original quote was? Or where to find it cited?

Thanks

I've been looking for a while.

Still nothing. Interesting as hell to read some of his interviews, though.

He did say, "The defense of individual rights has reached such extremes as to make society as a whole defenseless against certain individuals. It is time, in the West, to defend not so much human rights as human obligations."

From all his speakings, it does not seem that he is as much a friend to the Second Amendment as he is to general human freedom from oppression.
