There are a lot people who say only a handful of Americans would rise against tyranny with firearms.

That may be true of the first wave.

If 300 armed American men fought to the death against tyranny, they would be everlasting martyrs to inspire millions of armed Americans to do likewise.

Their names would be chiseled in stone for all posterity to read.

The 300 Spartans chose certain death over living under tyranny and their courage shouts across the centuries and inspires us to this very day.

A handful of armed men, determined to lay down their lives for liberty and slaughtered by the U.S. military in response, would spawn a wildfire, bloody American revolution of a size no government could stop.

You’re forgetting one important thing.

History is written by the victors.
