Nope. Not that one. I made a mistake when I posted to Jim because it wasn’t ANYTHING to do with this thread.
It was still good though.
Are you on FB?
To: Brad's Gramma; Jim Robinson
Yes. And thank you for the pic.

And yet, when General Gage put pressure on Boston they caved.
Following the first shots of the American Revolution at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, on April 27, the military governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay and commander-in-chief of all British forces in North America, General Thomas Gage, ordered all firearms owned by the Boston citizenry stored in Faneuil Hall.
On April 27, 1778 fire arms, 634 pistols, 973 bayonets and 38 blunderbusses were received, properly labeled with the names of the owners, and sorted for storage at Faneuil Hall.
Gage promised the weapons would be returned to their owners at a suitable time. Gage feared an attack on Boston was imminent and feared the civilian populace would join in the resistance, confronting him with an inner and outer enemy. - See more at:

I don’t believe the guns were ever returned to their rightful owners.

And yet, when General Gage put pressure on Boston they caved. The British simply sailed into Boston Harbor. Their cannons could reach the entirety of Boston with impunity. That is some pressure. That ended when Washington brought a battery of cannon and mounted Dorchester Heights. The British weighed anchor and sailed out of the harbor.

On October 2, 1835, the Mexican Army attempted to confiscate the cannon given to Gonzalez to defend itself against Indians. This was the spark that set off the Texan Revolution resulting in the founding of the Republic of Texas.
Two government gun control raids resulted in successful independence movements. Will the US government turn its back on its founding and de facto become a tyrannical government?
