GUNS & AMMO

Judge Napolitano (author of the article in Mike's link), it without question one of the greatest voices of reason and liberty left in America -- I enjoy everything he writes, and wish the nimrods at faux news hadn't been too stupid to leave him on the air.

Boston -- April 19: Gun Ban Results In Tragic Deaths

BOSTON -- National guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of
recently banned assault rifles were ambushed on April 19th by elements
of a paramilitary extremist faction. Military and law enforcement
officials estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured
before government forces were compelled to withdraw.

Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared
that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has
links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.

Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed
against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the
group's organizers as "criminals," issued an executive order
authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered
with the government's efforts to secure law and order.

The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed widespread refusal
by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.
Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition
earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting earlier this
month between government and military leaders at which the governor
authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.

One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed
out that "none of these people would have been killed had the
extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily."

Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply
of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to
seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from
heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped-off regarding the
government's plan.

During a tense standoff in Lexington's town park, National Guard
Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered
the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse
was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the
right-wing extremists.

Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange. Ironically, the
local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists
for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed
citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units.
Colonel Smith, finding his forces overmatched by the armed mob,
ordered a retreat.

Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national
joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor
has also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and
leading the attack against the government forces. Samuel Adams, Paul
Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as "ringleaders" of
the extremist faction, remain at large.

Sad part is, not many people have any idea what that story you posted is all about.

Especially younger generations.

Wait a minute! Why in the world would you want/need a gun? Your elected officials have determined that you are safer there in Chicago without them.

Chris, great post. It is amazing how history repeats itself.
 
To quote Twain, history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme. Happy "Patriots Day" to those who remember history, and to those in Boston who are currently holed up in their homes by order of the State.
 
After you apply for a pressure cooker license, wait the appropriate 7 days, and make sure you're not buying a high-capacity pressure cooker. :eyes:
 
I have a question for you CO residents. I'll be passing through Colorado in October on my way to and from Moab and I will have my carry gun with me. Planning on stopping at my buddy's in Denver. From what I gathered i'll need to open carry in Denver if I plan to carry. What do I absolutely need to know? Here in Indiana its pretty much, if you have a license to carry its anything goes minus schools and government buildings.

Nope opposite of that. Denver prohibits open carry, you have to carry concealed. Rest of the state open carry is permitted.

Oh, well that's even better then. I prefer concealed carry! Thank you!
