April 19th marks the anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, known as The Shot Heard Round the World. This battle, leading to our nations independence, was the then-dictators (United Kingdom King George IIIs) FAILED attempt at gun control– an act being carried out in too many parts of our USA RIGHT NOW. This first gun control of the colonies was a failure, because of the will and determination of a small part of the population (about 3% actually fought for our Independence actively with many others supporting) to stand up to an oppressive controlling government (England). Without the sacrifice by those few Patriots, we could very well still be British subjects rather than independent citizens.
