“The 1776 patriots had 40-45% popular support. 20% sided with Britain. “
I’ve never heard those high numbers. I have always used 30% backed the patriots, 10% were active participants, but only 3% started out as patriots. The other 70% were Tories who backed the crown.
I think we have the same breakdown today.

You would be lucky to get 10% of American men and women to risk their 401K. You would be lucky to get 1% to risk life and limb over an assault weapon ban. The country is already essentially 50/50 split just politically to say nothing of our racial, ethnic, socioeconomic divisions.
Going after semi-automatic rifles will be high on their priority list. If the Republicans let it happen, I'm done voting. I will purposely find something else to do every election day from now until the day I die. I don't see myself raising arms though. To those of you who do, I salute you. Good luck.
