dumb question, i wonder under what law were the firearms confiscated.
dumb question #2, i wonder what the difference is between this and concord in 1775?
the first hit in the google web search for concord (history.com) yields that the british attempted to seize an “arms cache.” is that a new PC word for armory?
the khan academy still refers to the protected entity as an “armory.” i never before recalled hearing the term “arms cache” in reference to the 1775 concord battle. perhaps i missed something...
It was about 6 months prior to Concord/ Lexington.
Was called the “Powder Alarm”. The British seized the community held powder for training the militia. The militia at that time were “British”. But after the King took it, they disbanded the British militia.
Then they elected everybody again for the militia - but this time as Americans.
They had mandatory training, etc. Which is why they proved so successful at Concord/Lexington. Some believe that if they still had the powder, we would have won the Battle of Boston.

i now see that the term “arms cache” goes back at least to 1971...
What was the pretext for the search warrant?

Steve, they had better come up with an answer to that question AND FAST!
This is unreal...I was immediately reminded of the scene in the series The Revolutionary War, where the British came looking for the WEAPONS. Made me a little sick.
Istn’t Missouri supposed to be a Red state?
