Original Assault Rifle

I will, since that is what happened. What people here at PF are witnessing is a progressive unable to admit that the American Revolution began at Lexington and Concord.

Unbelievable! No wonder the Democrats can tell they anything and be believed.

 

LOL - so you used Wiki to find the first armed engagement of the war. Great, assuming all this happened in a vacuum which it didn't

 

EXACTLY! Just like the Civil war started when Union Solders shot at Confederate troops on Sothern Land! There are good reasons the Civil War is often called the War of Northern Aggression! I mean after all, the South NEVER invaded Northern land…

 

Many historians believe that the American Revolution started with the first act of war... which was the creation of the Declaration of Independence from Britain.

 

Actually, most Americans born before 1980 know this as truth. We were taught before the advent of lies you could find on the internet.

 

It sounds like liberals want to confiscate guns but don't want to admit that it would be tyrannical to do so.

 

Feel free to point them out. But they need to explain why the British where confiscating the gun powder in the first place, or why the Continental Congress was being formed and having its first meeting before the a shot was fired. Or why the port of Boston was closed in the first place

 

That the first battles of the war were fought in a vacuum. What strange history books you must have grown up with

 

That was the beginning of the war. When do you think it started?

 

Boston Tea Party

 

Now you're just being stupid.

 

So, a few radicals throw tea into Boston harbor, and that was an act of war by the colonies?

Ok, now find a few respected historians that agree with you. Otherwise, it's just an odd opinion.

 

It's obvious.

He wrote text books about America history. Legitimate enough for you?

Well what other point did your post try to make? Did you think it was some sort of revelation on your part about where we got information before the internet?

 

That's not an act of war. Your "history channel" blurb makes no mention of war or warfare. The response was legislation. Give it up, man! Your were simply wrong.

 

Keep digging that hole for yourself. That "Blurb" is from an American history text book

 

some people are still either unable to read and understand the constitution or just don't want to follow it. I am also betting that under their matress is a gun. Personally I don't think that is a good place. Except of the one I might need in a hurry mind are locked up. Buiy bullets

 

Were the Redcoats marching to Concord and Lexington to collect taxes?

 

The revolution was fought for many reasons, guns were possibly the most important of them.

The British knew an unarmed populace could never threaten their rule.

So did the colonists.

Lol no it wasn't.

It was the shot heard around the world. Fired from a gun.
