“...there will be a second armed revolution in this country....and it won’t be against the British.”

Things get muddied after a couple hundred years. Our first armed rebellion was against OUR GOVERNMENT, because of its ever-increasing tyranny!
(We WERE British!)

That's right. Paul Revere and Dr. Dawson did not shout, "The British Are Coming!". The shouted "The Regulars Are Coming!".

And what they were coming for was the colonial Englishmen's guns! Taxation without representation was a sore point, but the fight didn't start until the regulars instituted gun confiscation.

The New Orleans "Boys in Blue", aided by cops from all over, and the National Guard, have already done that. But nobody shot at any of the confiscators! Even after federal courts ordered the confiscated guns returned NOPD refused to do so, and most of the guns are now piles of rust, some even showing evidence of salt water corrosion. Only plastic and stainless steel survived more or less intact. And yet, no one in the NOPD, or those other organziatioins has gone to jail, or even lost their job.
