Today is the 245th Anniversary of Lexington and Concord.

Kind of reminds you what the Democrats are trying to do nowadays, doesn't it? Instead of saying it is "in the name of he King" the bastards are saying it is "in the name of sensible gun control". The results are the same.

And while that was happening the conservatives were nervously booking passage to Nova Scotia.

The Second Amendment didn't stop Jim Crow(or slavery before it), which were the only actual cases of tyranny established in the US.

As for Lexington and Concord.....it was a bit of a wash. Lexington was a loss, Concord a win, but both were more skirmishes than anything else.

"Sensible" and "Common Sense" ... two common, subjective tactics of the Democrats without providing any level of specificity.
 
The colonist had the advantage with their forty round clips for their muskets.

Were these clips used to load large capacity magazines (20, 30, 40 rounds) or something else to demonstrate your understanding of how firearms operate? Maybe that AR-14?

Liberals in general and Democrats specifically can never be trusted with defining "common sense". They screw it up every time. They wouldn't know what common sense was if it was to bite them in the ass.

I know. When will it stop?: Social Security, min wage, right to organize, unemployment insurance, workers comp, Medicare, the ACA, environmental protection, NATO, pesticide and emission standards.... All the aspects of the "American carnage" we endured until Trump pledged to fight them. And strangely, stuff that is maintained by our allies, even under conservative governance. Can our lone crusader save us?

Always worth remembering - what drove the Founders to actual, no-kidding, Rebellion wasn't a tax; it was a gun-grab.

Amongst other things, including allowing Catholics to have rights in Quebec and not letting them conduct a land grab and drive various Native American tribes off their land.

Also worth remembering that the only time an actual tyranny was imposed in the United States, the Second Amendment was worthless.

Nope. The British were after locally-owned cannon and powder.

Nah. There have been multiple examples of abuse of power, and the ability of the abused to defend themselves has indeed in some instances been of avail. If you mean that we have not successfully risen in revolt against the federal government since we first enshrined the second amendment, well, certainly. That is no better a reason to get rid of the second than it does to get rid of the first.

The “Revolutionaries” were very explicit— and upset— about how they thought the Quebec Act, which allowed Catholics to freely practice— was “promoting popery”. Not to mention, of course, handing over their rightful clay(never mind that there were actually people already living there, they weren’t white and therefore didn’t count :roll:) to the “papists”. It even got listed as one of the “Intolerable Acts”.

Ah yes, I must have missed the hundreds of occasions of African Americans defending themselves from night riders and Klansmen with firearms, which was of course supported by the preceding generations of the “gun rights” activists......oh wait, the exact opposite happened. A unconstitutional tyranny was imposed on Americans for a century in the South, and the Second Amendment did nothing to stop it.

Uhuh. Funny how they then went out and wrote the same First Amendment granting the greatest freedom to Catholics than they enjoyed in any non-Catholic country in the world.

But, of course, we aren't talking about general controversies at the time, but the specific act the British took (a gun grab) that kick-started the actual Revolution at Lexington and Concord :)

An overly broad, but excellent argument for defending and enshrining the Second Amendment thoroughly, and overturning State Bans on it's actual exercise.

Though I don't know if I would say that Slavery was unConstitutional - it was a violation of its principles (as both Frederick Douglas and Martin Luther King Jr so effectively pointed out), but it was written into and allowed under the text.




Look. If your basic beef with the point that the act that actually kick-started the Revolutionary War was a Gun Grab is "Yes, but blacks were still abused", well, yes, but, that's not exactly directly relevant.

Almost every state. Here in Florida they took away bump stock and prevented 18-21 year olds from buying arms. The filthy ass government can come and take away your arms by only having somebody say that it is possible that you just might commit a crime. I can't buy a new M-16, even when the Supreme Court said in the Miller case that the Second Amendment protects the right to have a firearm in general use by the military.

Many other states are far worse.

The other day that asshole Democrat governor of Virginia talked about curtailing the right to keep and bear arms. In fact many Democrats have said it.

Hopefully this case that the Supreme Court has agreed to review in New York that will establish that the Federal, State and Local government must apply strict scrutiny to the right to keep and bear arms like has to be applied to other Constitutional rights. We need to stop this filthy practice of the government at any level ignoring the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights.

Nah, they were reloading. And it's a good thing, or you would be bowing to the Queen.

I wish they had. It would have been finished much quicker, and with fewer casualties...
 
On this day in 1775, the British garrison marched out of Boston to confiscate weapons from rebellious Colonials in Concord. The filthy Democrat party is hell bent to do the same thing. They call it "sensible gun control". Bastards!

Nah. It doesn't remind any rational, sober adult of what the Dems are trying to do.

Why do you hate America?

Ah, yes. The sweet, fetid stench of historical illiteracy.

The conservatives support the Monarchy. It was the liberals/radicals who fought it.

Why do you hate history?

Those things you mention still leave your right to bear arms as able to be exercised by the citizenry.
 
Sadly, like today, the Colonials had to deal with bootlicking ****nuts that were all too eager to remain subjects and refused to stand for their rights. Made their job that much harder. But in the end.......

No they werent. They were bookin. They were Tories to you guys, United Empire Loyalists when they got to Canada. Hell, the Conservative Party are still called Tories in Canada and Britain.
Sorry to wreck your narrative but your revolution was fought by liberals.

All potentially dangerous tools and equipment have laws and regulations: from cars and trucks to bulldozers and chainsaws. Somehow the issue of what’s reasonable regulation on those is not so difficult to decide. But ANY regulation on firearms, perhaps the most hazardous of all this equipment, is considered tyranny.

So odd.
