Seventy-two killed resisting gun confiscation in Boston

[optrade]

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.

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.

F*ck, but this Newspeak translation is fine. Shows you what violence and mangling is done to events using language.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Redcoat speak.....we all know, how it ended for them.

A new Boston Tea Party, I would say...

Note also that this was preceded some time earlier by Gov.-Gen. Gage declaring a "registration period," during with loyal citizens could come to the designated sites, "register" their arms and return with their arms and a certificate.

In fact, of course, the guns were confiscated.

Which is, of course, the real object of the exercise. No matter how much the gun-grabbers market it as a "public safety" plan.

[JuergenG]

You mean as in "legislation - registration - confiscation"?

Rep Linsky apparently wants to follow Gov. General Gage's footsteps.....

[EJER Fuchs]

Linsky wants to go at least that far, if not farther.
