232 Years Later...We Still Are Fearful Of The Tyrant Wishing To Disarm Us...

Letters of Delegates to Congress: Volume 1
Edmund Pendleton to (Chief Justice) Joseph Chew

Philadelphia

June 15 1775

..."The Crisis of our Fate in the present and unhappy Contest seems approaching nearer than may be imagined by us and perhaps this Summer may determine whether we shall be slaves or a Rotten wicked Administration be sacrificed to Our Freedom in such times there will be as great Variety of Sentiments as Constitutions among those who have the same end in view.

All our friends as far as I hear are well in Virginia where we have had a small taste of the troubles of the times. Lord Dunmore very imprudently had 15 half Barrels of Powder removed in the night from the Magazine on board a Man of War whether Crown or Country property is uncertain. This alarmed the Country and I suppose 1000 men were in arms to go to Williamsburg on the Occasion but sent an express there to know the true state of things.

We have no certain account of the beginning of this Affair but it probably was this-there are many stands of Arms in the Magazine from which the locks have been taken and the people uneasy lest the Guns would also be taken away..."

Last time around, at least it was another country that so desired to disarm us. Now, we've but ourselves to blame for electing the very people who would re-write the Constitution and enslave us to their cause.

Prepare for the Revolution. Our forebears asked this of their people, the people they were sworn to protect. Are the days of giants long gone?

If so, then prepare for the revolution. Troubled times draw men striving to surpass their reach in order to take us to freedom. Americans are Americans. Someone will stand tall when the need is the greatest.

Everything that the Pelosi's and the Clinton's profess to be impossible, are but echoes of the same words used to delay the events that began in 1776.

We ARE the impossible. Doing so merely takes time.

"...Should they come for me I will sell it dearly...if they come for you I and those akin to me will be there to lend help..."
