The American Revolution began when the British King attempted to disarm the Colonists. We’re not the men our forefathers were.

Speak for yourself; only 3% of the colonists actually took up arms. 1/3 remained loyal to the crown; 1/3 supported Independence, but didn't do much; and 1/3 remained indifferent.

America is a warring nation by default; if don't have enemies to fight, we'll fight ourselves. The looter class covets their welfare; the bitter clingers covet their guns. Both groups will fight to the death to keep that which they covet.

Well my ancestors were among the 3%, seven of them fought in the Revolutionary War.
