The United Sated has survived so long because it is based on laws created by democratic elections. Now we have all these pro-gun people claiming that if the law does not go their way they are going to result to killing people who do not agree with them. They try to compare their beliefs to the original Revolutionary War that created this country but that is a complete false equivalency. The Revolutionary War was fought to give people the right to vote so that we could have a democracy. At that time there was no way to change the law through democratic means or winning elections. So the pro gun people who support the belief that they should be allowed to kill people when they lose elections are actually anti-democracy. Their beliefs are treasonous.
While I don't entirely disagree with you, both the insurrectionists and the patriots were petulant children. The patriots just didn't want to pay for a war they started. More in common than you'd think based on how we learn history.
