Nice, nice post. Thanks.
Patriot Bump!
Excellent! Thanks for posting.
It is and makes one ponder how things might have changed since then. For instance ‘local civilians’ and military are no longer equally armed or trained. We’ve given those rights up in the name of ‘reasonable’. We allow all manner of surveillance, some very intrusive in the name of safety. Im sure you can think of other examples.
Lexington was about gun control, cleverly written.
Like!
Those who don’t learn from their history are doomed to repeat it....
The good General ordered 700 of his Redcoats to “Be good Chaps,” and remove the Colonists’ pesky
firearms and ammunition from Lexington. But, the colonists had already removed them to safe keeping.
King George III paid the price on the road back to Concord when his gun confiscstors were met by 3,000 Americans firing on them from the roadside trees. The final price was paid at Yorktown.
God Bless!

This time, I doubt the military will fire on citizens, afterall, the military are also patriots.
I suspect a bloodless coup with the military putting Obama under house arrest.
Road from Concord, to Boston.
Don’t ever trust the MIL totally.
The Founders were very concerned about it, for good reason. They become dangerously beholden to one person, or at least take their oath very seriously and can easily be used by the people who officially direct them.
Libs “loathe” the MIL - until THEY control what they do. Such is the way of communists and all tyrants.
10 years ago you would have been correct Now the military is obamas homosexual transgendered women in combat social experiment The real patriots are quitting in droves The Obama engineered military would joyfully fire on right wing bigots and obstructionists

Bump.
I admit I knew where this was going before I opened it and admire how well it was written.
Teday every time I read or hear a comment from some asshat about one does not need an AR or high cap pistol magazine for hunting I want to scream. There is not one word in the entire constitution, especially 2A, where hunting was even a mention.
The NFA of 1934 IMO was beyond the scope of what was OK under 2A. Look for some major BS to come from this pissadent and his matress on their backs GOPes.
The founders were on the ball. They knew that a standing army under the control of the CiC could be dangerous so they planned for a citizen force, militia, to counter them. Of course that was in the day when they were pretty much equally armed. Today, there is no actual counter force as the Military has overwhelming firepower. Worse, since our elected officials don’s seem to care what the voters think, there is no check on what has become an oppressive federal government in general and an executive branch in particular.
