  • Just in case you think the unthinkable would never happen, I submit:

    BOSTON

    - National guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of

    recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th

    by elements of a para-military extremist faction. Military

    and law enforcement sources 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 wide-spread 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 in early 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 plans. 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 also demanded the surrender of those responsible

    for planning and leading the attack against the government

    troops.

    Samuel

    Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock,who

    have been identified as "ringleaders" of the extremist

    faction, remain at large.

    April

    20, 1775

    Same line used by many supporters of Washington DC's 2 ruling parties whenever the Constitution is brought up.

    I do believe common unknowingly tripped on his d**k with that one. Thought that history was to blame on everything aka:it was Bush's fault.

    "Besides , the big Gun Control fiasco is over .

    It failed miserably ."

    No it is alive and well. Don't fall for the Dog and Poney Show.

    Too bad all these protesters will all be martyred when they send in thier helicopter gunships. The survivors will be used as human sacrifices to the God of the elites: SATAN!!!

  • "...history was to blame on everything..."

    What has history to do with "blame?"

    All I did was question the assumption that because something happened 238 years ago, does not mean it is going to happen tomorrow, or next week, or next year, or even in the next 238 years.

    The commissioning of Thomas Gage as Royal Governor of Massachusetts was by the king of England. You realize that Gage was not an American governor.

  • Common,I could jump all over that last sentence but I shall refrain. History is the teaching tool for what we do today. You are like that barber pole when I was a kid that just went round and round and round but never really went anywhere.

    Obama will have them all killed. I can see how it will all end. As the protesters cross the bridge; a helicopter gunship will let loose with thier gatling guns.

    Last I checked Massachesetts was in America even back then. :)

    The colonies united against their proper government for less tyrany inflicted upon them than what Americans today put up with.

    There were a lot of wackos in France too but no one listened.

    Common, Prepare to let that black dog get real friendly. He has been known to be there upon such an outcome.

  • "...lot of wackos in France too but no one listened."

    France having a "wacko" method of collecting back taxes has nothing to do with the US.

    They also speak French there, but this does not mean that we will.
