Believing that there is a difference between guns (and cannons, etc.) owned by armed revolutionaries for a violent struggle, and the common citizen/colonists's weapons (primarily) used for hunting, before and during the AmRev, is not a valid criteria for calling somebody a "dummy". YOUR agenda is to own as many of the most powerful assault weapons in existence, and an unlimited supply of devistating ammunition for said weapons, and you are attempting to re-write history to suit your purposes. Again, the REAL causes of the Revolution were the Stamp, Townshend, and Intolerable acts - NOT "gun control" as we know it. The Indians, with their tomahawks and bows, were damn near as dangerous, and maybe more so in some circumstances, than the single shot long-rifles of the 18th Century.
