On April 19, 1775, British troops, some 800 strong, were dispatched to Concord, Massachusetts, to arrest Sam Adams and John Hancock and to seize a cache of weapons known to be stored at Concord. When Dr. Joseph Warren sent Paul Revere to warn Pastor Jonas Clark (in whose home Adams and Hancock were staying) that the Crown's troops were on their way to arrest the two men and seize the guns at Concord, he alerted his male congregants. About 60-70 men from the Church of Lexington stood armed on Lexington Green awaiting the Red Coats.
Upon spotting the citizen militia, a British officer demanded the men throw down their arms. They refused; and the British troops immediately opened fire. Eight of the Minutemen were instantly killed. The colonists returned fire in self-defense, and the shot was fired that was heard 'round the world. By the time the troops arrived at the Concord Bridge, just a few miles away, hundreds of colonists were waiting for them with muskets in hand, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Make no mistake about it: attempted gun confiscation ignited America's War for Independence.

I think I won't let this guy go.
I'll give you this - You are consistent.
So what EXACTLY do you have in mind?
Will I have to miss work? If your plan is for this weekend, I can't make it because we're heading up to the university to see our son.............
Can you postpone it till next weekend? I don't think our other son has any hockey plans for then...........Oops, wait a minute, we're going to the Detroit Auto Show on Saturday.
Is Sunday good for you?
I appreciate your post. I like your message.
Not really related, but it reminds me of someone else and I have to ask (not trying to thread hijack) Has anyone seen/heard from FReeper I See My Hands recently?
If you refuse to comply, they will surely send their agents to up the ante.

That is what makes me wonder if the heavily armed drug cartels are obamas ace up his sleeve. The point of F&F maybe.
Surely you jest. Do you realize how many American citizens are armed? Try nearly 100 million, at least ten percent of which, will not back down in a fight to the bitter end.
That's 10 million insurgent patriots who will kill or be killed, fighting to preserve this nation. Tell me what army on the planet can match that number? You can't, because it doesn't exist.
Yeah, it would, but it seems impossible to get enough people on board with a tax revolt to get it to work. I've tried.
Surely you jest.

Don’t call me Shirley....and no I don’t jest. I’m speculating that an armed Mexican Army which is in with heavily armed drug cartels and the millions of illegals here already, along with UN troops could be be a powerful force coming at us.
Then there are those pesky Amish in the cities who own guns and hate everyone who isn’t Amish. This could get real ugly. Real fast.
That's a perilously broad brush, n00b.
That’s 10 million insurgent patriots who will kill or be killed, fighting to preserve this nation.

Did I mention that L.A. has a population of about a million illegals...that’s just one state.
Quit wetting your panties and man up already. We patriots vastly outnumber any army on the planet, including the motley crew you just mentioned.
My part of Pennsylvania is North Alabama, as is most of Flyover, USA.
So? I'm from Los Angeles. I know that place as well as anyone, and I can tell you that if the illegals ever decided to get froggy, the Southland would be crawling with armed patriots.
Quit trying to sell your surrender agenda to me. I ain't buying it.
Quit trying to sell your surrender agenda to me.

Facts are your friend, FRiend. And I’m not selling anything. I just want people like you to be ready for what is coming. Your bravado means nothing to me if you are still in Cali. Most patriots are way ahead of you but don’t spill their guts about it. Good luck.
Your facts are something out of a paranoid fantasy, and yes, you most definitely are trying to convince Freepers that there's no way to fight back.
In wartime, demoralizing people like you are quickly separated from the troops. If things in this country get real, you'd better change your tune.
Windflier, you are irrational and hallucinating. Transference issues maybe. I don’t know and I don’t care. As I said before you started your tirade...good luck.
Emotional, over-the-top, out-of-control hysterical personality types don’t benefit anyone. They squeal like little piggies when their tails are twisted and are a danger to others.
You have your tail in a twist.
Now that's funny, considering that you're the one who tried to convince me that Obama will get the U.N., the Mexican army, and the drug cartels to invade the U.S., and that they'll enlist millions of illegal immigrants to lay waste to the country.
I simply told you that, even if that wild assed paranoid delusion were to come true, there are nearly 100 million armed Americans who would soon decimate them. Let's also not forget about the many hundreds of thousands of patriots in uniform. They wouldn't sit around waiting for orders, should such an unlikely scenario unfold.
I think it's pretty clear which one of us is irrational and hallucinating here.
you’re the one who tried to convince me

Go back and read my original post. Do yourself a favor and look up “speculating”. It’s a real word with a real meaning. Have a good evening.
Here's the critical excerpt of your first comment to me:
...makes me wonder if the heavily armed drug cartels are obamas ace up his sleeve.
Your comments downthread only grew increasingly delusional and paranoid. Own it, and have a good night.
