153. I checked my facts, chief.......
But it's hilarious of you to pretend that collectively purchased and owned muskets (such as made up 99% of revolutionary armaments) somehow aren't guns....



For an added giggle, you might recall that the first shot of the war (the shot heard round the world) was fired when General Gage sent 700 Redcoats to try to seize the collective arsenal in Concord...Tell us, if he'd been faced with individually owned guns, like you claim, why didn't he go from house to house to round them up?
