You have now changed your story by conceding that the rights of gun owners was not the primary cause for the Revolution, and you now consider guns as having "a lot to do with the revolution" - which quite different than the claims that you've been posting here for some time - specifically that the whole Revolution was instigated by an attempt by the British to take away the colonists' guns. You wrote, "PEOPLE DIED REFUSING TO GIVE UP THEIR GUNS...THIS IS HOW THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION STARTED..."

Yes, the Revolution would not have been possible without guns - and the Patriots had plenty of them, despite the British attempts to confiscate them from rebels such as the Sons of Liberty, and other rabble-rousers.
