That’s what kicked off the fighting at Lexington and Concord - and started the War for Independence.
But they never teach that in government-run schools. It’s almost as if they want you to believe the Founders fought a long, bloody war just to get representatives to tax them.
That’s a lie.
The truth? Months before the battles of Lexington and Concord, the British launched a systematic campaign to disarm the people - confiscating powder, banning imports, carrying out warrantless searches and seizures, and more.
On April 19, 1775, the revolutionaries finally fought back.
A LONG TRAIN OF ABUSES
To understand what led to the first shots of the war, we have to back up just a little.
After the Seven Years’ War ended in 1763, the British Empire was buried in debt. So they did two things that changed everything: they stationed a permanent standing army in the colonies - and they expected the Americans to pay for it.
They tried to raise that revenue with a series of internal taxes - including some of the most notorious still remembered today:
The Stamp Act of 1765
The Townshend Acts of 1767
The Tea Act of 1773
Each time, the people resisted - with petitions, protests, and non-compliance. And sometimes, it escalated. In 1770, five colonists were shot and killed by British troops in what came to be known as the Boston Massacre.
Then, in December 1773, it all boiled over with the Boston Tea Party.
DISARMAMENT BY DESIGN
The British response was swift and brutal, aiming to suppress any colonial defiance.
In the aftermath of the Boston Tea Party, the British Parliament passed what became known as the Coercive Acts. Among other things, they closed the port of Boston and revoked the Massachusetts charter - bringing the colony under the total control of the British government.
The move only escalated tensions. To many colonists, it was yet another attempt to strip them of their right to self-rule and force them into submission.
At the center of this strategy was military control - and that meant taking the people's arms.
General Thomas Gage was appointed to replace Thomas Hutchinson as military governor of Massachusetts earlier in 1774. He arrived in Boston and formally took office on May 13.
As Dave Kopel writes, Gage believed the best way to keep the peace was to disarm the colonists. He set in motion a secret plan to remove military supplies - especially guns and gunpowder - from public storehouses across New England. That plan was already in motion by late summer 1774.
Most of the weapons and powder in those magazines belonged to provincial governments. But some were owned by individual towns, merchants, or private citizens. The goal wasn’t just to neutralize government forces - it was to disarm the people.

He wants a welcome mat at the southern border. Pathways to citizenship for millions of undocumented, unverified immigrants. He's called ICE a “secret police force” that he wants to destroy.
He's even circulated instructions telling illegal immigrants how to evade federal agents: Don't open your door. Don't sign anything. Fight back.
He calls them his “most patriotic constituents.”
That's who gets Talarico's compassion.
Here's what he has for you: a NO vote on your right to carry. Bureaucratic hurdles standing between you and buying a firearm, or passing your own family heirloom down to your son or daughter.
“Red Flag” laws that let a bureaucrat send police to your door and strip you of your firearms without due process, without a trial, without you ever facing a judge.
And a sweeping federal ban on the most popular rifle in America; the same gun millions of law-abiding families use to defend their homes.
All while violent criminals pour across our open border and into our streets.
James Talarico may have a lot of compassion. He's just made it very clear who it's for.
It's not for you. It's not for your family. It's not for your Second Amendment rights.
Talarico is an embodiment of the farthest left corners of the Democratic Party, and he’s raising money faster than you can say “gun control.”
open secrets
That's exactly why your National Association for Gun Rights PAC is fighting him with everything we've got. And it’s why I need you in this fight right now.
Will you rush a contribution of $25 today to help NAGR go head-to-head with politicians like Talarico before it's too late?
This isn't a fight we can afford to lose. Every gun grabbing politician who wins office becomes one more vote for “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation laws, one more vote for an "Assault Weapons" Ban, one more vote to dismantle your Second Amendment rights piece by piece.
NAGR-PAC doesn't back down. We don't compromise. We expose politicians like Talarico for exactly what they are... and we mobilize gun owners to stop them at the ballot box.
But that takes resources. It takes a war chest big enough to out-organize and outwork the Gun Control Lobby in every district where it matters.
Chip in $50 right now and you'll help fund the ads, the mailers, and the grassroots pressure campaigns that put politicians like Talarico on notice.
Don't let his "compassion" speeches fool anyone. Talarico isn't compassionate toward you. He's compassionate toward the policies that leave you defenseless and the politics that get him reelected.
You deserve a defender who never wavers. That's our job. But I can't do it without gun owners like you standing behind us.
Make a contribution of $100 today and stand with NAGR-PAC as we take this fight directly to Talarico and every politician like him.
Whatever you can give -- $25, $50, $100, or more -- every dollar helps us push back against the politicians who'd rather protect illegal immigrants than protect your right to keep and bear arms.
Talarico has made his choice. Now it's time to make yours.
Rush your most generous contribution right now and help NAGR-PAC fight back before Talarico and his allies get one inch closer to disarming America.
For Freedom,
Dudley Brown
Executive Director
National Association for Gun Rights PAC
P.S. James Talarico has plenty of compassion for illegal immigrants and zero respect for your Second Amendment rights.

*** A renewed Deep State assault for warrantless surveillance authorization
*** A move to “integrate” our military with a foreign country in the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act
*** Mandatory Kill Switch technology in every privately owned vehicle
*** Multiple Nanny State Digital ID threats disguised in bills “for the children”
*** A Central Bank Digital Currency which is TOO close to becoming reality
For more details on these crucial issues, please see Dr. Paul’s email below.
Right now, we’re pushing to fund ALL of these critical battles, but unfortunately, we’re falling far short of that goal.
I’m worried we may not be able to see any of these battles through let alone all of them.
Your Campaign for Liberty is quite literally run on a shoestring budget. We do everything we can to carefully spend every red cent where we can make the biggest difference.
So when donations start to dry up, as they have recently, it has a major impact.
We’ve already had to cut back on important projects . . . more cuts may be coming.
