BREAKING NEWS: Seventy-Two Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Maryland.

National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of
a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200
injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.

Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up
of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.

Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who
described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual
who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.

The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed
assault weapons.

Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting
in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of
illegal arms.

One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed
had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”

Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops
attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been
tipped off regarding the government’s plans.

During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government
operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which
was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.

Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.

Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could
be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces
over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.

Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The
governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.

Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain
at large.

I'm sure the 2nd Revolution will begin very similarly.

I think there will numerous incidents of what they will term "Lone Fanatics" that will stand their ground, and give their lives, before any organized resistance truly begins.

The left seems Hell bent on bringing this to fruition.

My guess is that after one too many lockdowns people will start to ignore the warnings, an overzealous cop with lousy training will make a deadly mistake, and the media attempts to spin it will be ignored because nobody trusts them any more.

Nobody saw Rodney King coming. That's why they call it a Black Swan.

Well, I couldn’t find anything on the news about it and something like this would definitely make national news.

I thought this was an amusing retell of the Maryland 400, but it's not.
It's kind of like a mashup of Lexington and Concord and the Maryland 400.
