The Whiskey Rebellion was an armed insurrection against the US federal government.
The feds won, mainly because they were on their way with overwhelming force and the rebels dispersed.
The US Civil war was a form of armed insurrection in my opinion.

How was my neighbor to know?
Well, lets see, I had Allen wrenches on the table in front of me, scope and quiver detached and inside the house, a stick of wax on the table, and a rag and q tips on the table as well.
Dude. You were fiddling with a crossbow outside. Who do you think you are, Rambo? Of course the cops got twitchy. A known felon was screwing around with a crossbow outdoors. What did you expect them to do?

So I'm sitting outside on this beautiful day (in the 70s here in NC), and doing general maintainence on my bow and crossbow, ie tightening bolts, waxing strings, when 3 cop cars pull up in front of my house. I sitting in my chair, smoking a cigarette, hands nowhere my stuff, the cops exit their cars, weapons drawn, yelling for me to get on the floor. I immediately comply and they secure my bow and crossbow. First they tell me I can't have them because I am a felon. Wrong!! I am legally allowed to posess these, ad demanded a supervisor to come. H came and said I was right. Then they told me they hada complaint from a neighborI was sitting out here with them and they were scared.
Good god people WTF!!! What if I came outside with a butter knife, would they come back?
This is getting stupid, real FRIKKIN stupid.
The end of this story is they gave me my stuff back and told me to do my maintainence in the house
Screw that, I enjoy being outside, and don't gie a good damn if these candy assed sheeple are scared of a damn crossbow.
Moral of the story is this: when they're done taking our guns, they will come after our bows and damn slingshots nextedit on 1/12/2013 by HomerinNC because: (no reason given)

You know you folks in Britian really need to come to terms with the FACT America has the 2nd Amendment. And come to terms with the fact our forefathers were in fact British citizens who got feed up with the crap. As so you know, my range is within the guidelines for having a target range on your property. Permitted & licensed. No sheriff or law enforcment has a right to enter my property. But my gate was open that day as I was entertaining folks at my range.
Now the gate stays shut & locked, with a door bell and intercom at the gate. LE has to treat this as MY FRONT DOOR.
They can't enter without a warrant, and no judge in his right mind is going to give a warrant based on a anonymous phone call. Those are MY rights and my rights mean something to me. And the 2nd Amendment right I have is at the top of my list. It's up to each individual to know his or her rights as an American citizen, if you don't, shame on you.
Respectfully I would ask for the British keep their thoughts about a country that GAINED their independence from British tyrannical rule thru armed conflict, because it just makes you all sound bitter because you lost and you don't have the freedomns we do. It' just whineing. And the Australians, waas not Australia a British prison colony? You all did'nt fight for your independence, Britian just threw you all away. As in DISCARDED. unwanted citizens.

I am not scared to walk down a street. You act like everyone is just carrying them down the street. They aren't for that anyways. The whole point of owning a gun is if the Government ever turns in to Nazi's, Stalin’s, Ottoman empire, Syria types, you will not have to try to use a baseball bat or your fists to defend yourself and family.
Learn the reason we have the 2nd amendment before spouting off about it. You realize the same day the sandy hook shooting happened, some guy in china stabbed over 20 children. Are we going to ban butcher knives too? Give me a break. Stop listening to your masters who bomb children daily!
