Historical Defiance

The Founders didn’t ask permission. Neither should you.

Patrick Henry speaking at Virginia Convention

#001 – Henry’s Roar

“Give me liberty, or give me death!”

March 23, 1775 – Virginia Convention. Facing British disarmament edicts, Henry electrified the room, arguing that an armed citizenry was the only bulwark against tyranny. The speech galvanized Virginia to arm its militia—sparking the powder keg of revolution.

Today: Red-flag laws? Registry pushes? Henry’s logic is your courtroom hammer: no due process, no compliance.

Timeline of Defiance

1765 – Stamp Act Riots

Colonists burn tax stamps in effigy. Non-importation agreements crash British revenue. Compliance rate: ~0%.

2A Parallel: Sanctuary counties ignoring federal registries.

1770 – Boston Massacre

Crispus Attucks, armed with a stick, falls first. The incident arms the narrative for rebellion.

2A Parallel: “Pre-crime” red-flag seizures—demand due process.

1774 – Powder Alarm

Militia seizes British arms caches. Lexington is next.

2A Parallel: ATF brace bans? Stockpile knowledge, not fear.

1775 – Lexington & Concord

“The shot heard ’round the world.” Farmers with muskets vs. redcoats raiding magazines.

Ultimate nullification: Arms as the final check.
