This time, it could plant seeds for an angry blowback which will explode in a second civil war or revolt.
How’d that work out for him?
One April morning...
Why is it that dictators always impose healthcare reform, gun control and then citizen roundups?
Doesn’t take much to have an identical situation right now, such as the FBI getting a tip from internet forums that a gathering of 2A supporters will be at various storage facilities near Washington DC.
And we know just how much drooling occurs from the Homeland security and FBI techies whenever they chance upon internet chatter that by “their” definition is acts of sedition.
Give them nothing or give them a nationwide snipe hunt, they made their wrong choice to obey illegal orders from a Presidency that is destroying our country.
It would have been so much better if they just realize who the real enemy is and took corrective actions, but no they must continue to be Americas modern day version of the Redcoat Army.
To Mr. Morgan, Panetta, McCrystal etal:
Why do I need an AR-15?
As citizens of the United States of America we pledge are lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to secure the unalienable rights of our fellow citizens. We can delegate the authority to carry out those tasks to both the police forces and the military, but we cannot delegate the responsibility.
Thank you for posting the actual text of the order to get the Colonists’ weaponry. it is the first time I have seen it, and am struck by its completeness as a military order.
The British could scarcely comprehend how their world and how history would change the very next day.
History turns on small events.
The men who fought the British and those who gave their lives the very next day are owed a tremendous debt by us.
That is why tyranny as to fought, at all levels, and at all costs.
This is not the first time. Years ago I read that the Regulator War of 1770 was started by an attempt to ban firearms in the Carolinas. The citizens lost and several gunsmiths were hanged as a result.
During the British occupation of Boston General Gage ordered all citizens temporarily store their private firearms in the local hall. Then his soldiers seized them and refused to return them.
In ancient Greece a politician called a town meeting. He wanted everyone to store their arms in a local temple till the meeting was over.
After the meeting was over the citizens found the politician’s henchmen had seized the temple and the Pol declared himself the king of that city.
***Having received intelligence, that a quantity of Ammunition, Provisions, Artillery, Tents and small Arms, have been collected at Concord,****
Which is why Americans should NEVER fall for the request to store your private firearms in a government armory as some of the libs have been demanding for the last 50 years.
“Orders Issued to Seize Citizen’s Guns (My title - flashback April 18, 1775)”
Seems like that raid resulted in some “Unintended Consequences”….
Could it happen again?
Thanks for posting this.
