Your list of what preceded the Revolutionary War fascinates me since I now recall I learned of all those events while I was in the FIFTH GRADE! Granted, it was sixty years ago but we were taught not only about the Founding Fathers but even the different uniforms worn by both sides.
At that age I wanted a musket so bad I could taste it. Had to wait for the Bicentennial before I could buy my own.
Anyway - the revolution starts when the government does something really stupid and shots are fired. But look at the states with mandatory registration and high noncompliance: has any governor yet declared war and sent out his flying monkeys to kick in doors?
Will people get snitched on, SWATed or Red Flagged whenever the gov says let the games begin? Will the VA state police motto be changed to “let them hate us as long as they fear us”?
Gov. Northam is one brick shy a load, IMO. He will ignore those who say, “don’t do this, boss”. Uncertain times ahead.
I remember the Muskets.
I.m so old that when I was in the 5th grade buying a musket was as easy as walking into the nearest gunsmith shop and forking over $9.50.
