I lost all my weapons in a tragic boating accident on Crater Lake. ;^(

Funny thing about lost weapons. Ben Frankin indicated to the british that the same would happen in 1766.
Q. Can anything less than a military force carry the Stamp Act into execution?
A. I do not see how a military force can be applied to that purpose.
Q. Why may it not?
A. Suppose a military force sent into America; they will find nobody in arms; what are they then to do? They cannot force a man to take stamps who chooses to do without them. They will not find a rebellion; they may indeed make one.
