Seventy two people killed resisting gun confiscation in Boston. “National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19 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.” (April 19, 1775.)

I was talking to a 21 year old kid today that wants to buy an AR-15, but his father is trying to talk him out of it, asking him "Why do you need that kind of gun?".
I told him to ask his dad if he's been watching the news lately. Then say "Since when does the government send Federal Officers with machine guns and sniper rifles to collect overdue rent? That's why I want one of those guns.".
Really, why DOES he? Recommend an AK-47 instead.
I recommended an AR-10. Prefer to stay with American made.
And communist assholes like Sen. Swinestein and Cuomo know it, though if something like this was to start happening, you can bet your ass they would be the first on a flight out of town.
Heh heh, clever!
Yeah, well that only happened because the British National Health System was not providing free healthcare yet.
The original Tea Party Terrorists, not that the first Tea Party is ever mentioned in our current crop of 'history' books in the public school system.
Boston is now better known for a race to see how far you can run away before you have a heart attack.
