While I agree the good, old fashioned Bostonians might take action to arm themselves, I fear there are only a few, old fashioned Bostonians. Boston is like any major city in America; filled with liberals, fags and minorities which make previous majorities the real minorities.
I doubt they are armed with firearms, but they are armed with bats and knives.
These are not John Kerry's kind of people.
In the case of a second American revolution...I think we can count on the working class Bostonians.
