Thanks, PM.

You have made a compellingly strong argument for citizens to arm up with RPGs and/or (VB)IEDs, against a tyrannical government that had used ‘tanks’ on its own citizens in the past.

Q. Can anything less than a military force carry the Stamp Act into execution?

A. I do not see how a military force can be applied to that purpose.

Q. Why may it not?

A. Suppose a military force sent into America; they will find nobody in arms; what are they then to do? They cannot force a man to take stamps who chooses to do without them. They will not find a rebellion; they may indeed make one.
