Oh, By The Way

VERBATIM 

Pretty sure American History isn’t being taught today the same as way back when my generation had to learn that stuff.  So here it is, in one lesson, just so we all know what we’re talking about.

 

Remember the Battle of Lexington, where the seventy Minutemen of Captain Parker met the 800 man advance guard of Major Pitcairn, and the “shot heard ’round the world” took place in that early morning in April 1775?   Well, that was all about gun confiscation. 

 

 There, now don’t that make you feel a whole lot better?
