Re: OT: Ok, there really is nothing to see here. Except me making a fool of myself.
There were no such things as "assault weapons" (they had rifles and pistols, no automated fire arms whatsoever) and the "national guard" (militias, yes, but not even an army until after 1776 and the US declaration of independence) back in 1775...

I don't think you are supposed to take it literally Fyron. It's like a modern Version of how the story would have been written if it happened today.

actually, i think its poorly contrived propoganda. there were plenty of real life coup attempts prior to the civil war. why not focus on real history instead of this stuff?
