But have they chosen to quote Tolkien simply because he is a (currently) famous author, or are they attempting to latch on to the popularity of the movies (prob. not as that line isn't in the movies) or are they trying to associate themselves with (what they percievce to be) the ethos of Tolkien's work? Is the message 'This is what the heroes of LotR would drive' or 'if Aragorn was king he'd be pro gun'.?
Good grief. *shakes head* You're thinking way too hard, Davem- a common pitfall for extremly smart people.

They used the quote because it's a darn good quote. It's that simple.
