The American Revolution began when the British King attempted to disarm the Colonists.
We’re not the men our forefathers were.
Speak for yourself; only 3% of the colonists actually took up arms. 1/3 remained loyal to the crown; 1/3 supported Independence, but didn't do much; and 1/3 remained indifferent.
America is a warring nation by default; if don't have enemies to fight, we'll fight ourselves. The looter class covets their welfare; the bitter clingers covet their guns. Both groups will fight to the death to keep that which they covet.
Speak for yourself.
You couldn’t be more wrong.
No military even our own would consider going against an armed civilian force such as we have in the US today.
