I have an MA in History, so I think I know a little something.

These acts were CONDEMNED by the likes of John Adams who was at odds with his cousin Samuel Adams over such acts.

I do advocate for a well-regulated militia in every State, that, like the Colonial Militias, will continue to stress loyalty to the U.S. Government until such a time arises that independence is the only option. Sadly, history might repeat itself. There may be occasions where militia firing on Federal Troops will be necessary. Remember, that during the first couple of years of full-blown armed conflict during the Revolution, the aim of the Colonials was not independence, but simply maintaining their rights under English and Natural Law. Independence was the last resort and should be viewed the same now. Nevertheless, armed conflict to maintain our constitutional republican form of government is inevitable.

You do know that firepower has changed through the ages?
That a militia firing on federal troops is semi automatics vs armored equipment and helicopters?
