72 Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Boston
 

Boston ? National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed 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 the Lexington 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 over matched 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.

And this fellow Americans, is how the American Revolution began, April 20, 1775.
On July 4th, 1776 these same extremists signed the Declaration of Independence, pledging to each other and their countrymen their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. Many of them lost everything, including their families and their lives over the course of the next few years.

lolz, right........

Why's that lolz?

It is right.

because it's misleading.

it wasn't the national guard, it was british soldiers and one would have to read through all that to get to the fact this happened 250 years ago.

This article is therefore not a contemporary news report, but rather a form of satire that seeks to criticize modern calls for additional gun ownership restrictions such as bans on "assault weapons" and the potential for stripping citizens of weapons they might need to protect themselves against government depredations.

What part of history taught in this country doesn't include fiction? More or less, what was posted did happen.

and i guess the lolz is me clicking this thread thinking it was current news! :1orglaugh

i fell for it.

So did I the first time I read it....Last year.

It's been posted a lot.

sure, i'm just posting that i fell for it, thus the lolz.......right comment.

i haven't always been up for the gfy gun debates, i prolly missed it when i was not hitting those sorts of threads. this one grabbed me due to the headline topic.

I've never seen it posted on GFY before. It's usually the same headline wherever I see it.

Nice one..... :thumbsup




.

i see, well, i guess the op is trying to raise awareness that he/she thinks we're heading in that direction, i don't know, maybe, but it doesn't seem that way to me.

It was only muskets. People have this revolution fantasy, it would end very differently today.

It's sad that you think a revolution is only a fantasy. The blue pill sure is tasty.

these things tend to only happen when the people are starving and beaten in the streets though. As long as people are well fed and get to play their xbox's then the revolution will be on hold ;)

ps moo!

It was only muskets?

You do realize that civilians had the same arms the military had. Little off sided now. Well, Aaron is probably keeping better pace than most!

When you only had one shot, you made it count.

:winkwink:

Gun nuts act like they're worried about confiscation, but they probably have fantasies about the government coming for their guns so they can go all David Koresh.

Spoken like a true moron. :2 cents:

You forgot weed.

The Holy Trinity for keeping the masses at bay:

1. Cheap Fast Food (that kills you slowly and makes you reliant on medicine (diabetes, etc.)
2. Video games (or their derivatives)
3. Weed, Cigarettes and Alcohol)

Making weed legal (which I am a proponent of, but for other reasons) is the last piece needed for the Gov't to control enough of the masses to get their agendas through.

Keep 'em fat and happy! And oblivious.

Military style muskets with assault bayonets attached :thumbsup

They were just defending their right to arm bears. Or is it bare arms?

Good catch.

i'm not sure if you're shooting from the hip here (see what i did there?) or if this is true but it's good!

:thumbsup

You do realize that they had less than the state average of guns in that complex?
This was Texas!

if this thread is going to be about waco, i'm all in!

comparison fail. king george III was not born in kenya.

I don't think the liberal gun hating hoard could take that again!

:1orglaugh especially the part where the government/fbi used incendiary grenades on those people

Yeah and blocked the exits!

That was the findings of the senate committee.

Or maybe we can talk about the FBI agents that beat up the news reporter and took his camera? LOL

Thanks. Not really shooting from the hip. I've long believed that the Fed Gov't will continue to flourish as long as enough of it's citizens are kept at bay. What better way to do that with cheap, tasty food, drugs and video games.

Does this sound like average? You been getting your information from the Fox news again?
