They were met, first at Lexington Green by a force consisting of 38 men, then, at the North Bridge (Concord)

The American lost 93, k**led, wounded or missing that day; the British 273.

I understand the commanding sentiment. But this is not 1775. Paranoia seems to fuel most on the Right from the wisdom of reasonable gun-control. CONFISCATION! So, let countless people die because of a bogey-man fear in the future? Besides that, the 2nd Amendment recognizes the right of each and every state to have a well regulated m*****a--but not inherently the right for every citizen to keep and bear arms. The Federal Government may not infringe upon each and every state having a well regulated m*****a. How "well" each state may regulate their citizens is up in the air. But gun ownership is to be WELL REGULATED! as per the Constitution, which you "patriots" dearly love and respect.
