Exactly! Please read my clarification, I think you will agree.

It is so nice to read an argument from somebody who really stops and thinks rationally prior to writing.

Good job!

This needs a bit of clarification...

1. Yes we did use guns during The Revolutionary War, but so did The British

2. We did not win the war because we had guns. We won the war because we were on our land and, because of that used the knowledge of our land as part of our war efforts.

3. A lot of American military leaders knew how the English military thought, worked, and planned. Because of this, we outwitted them. The American Generals used the British's own tactics against them. Basically we were smarter.

4. Here is my synopsis: Guns did play a role, but on both sides equally. We won the war because we were fighting on our territory and used our strong logistical land knowledge and the British Army's lack of logistical land knowledge to our advantage. The military insight which men brought over from England and Europe gave The American soldiers an upper hand; they knew their tactics. This helped The American Army plan and execute preemptive military maneuvers against The British Army saving many American lives and towns.

In closing, I have noticed, sadly, that a lot of the credit of winning The Revolutionary War has gone to guns rather than the brave men who fought for all of our freedoms. We won The Revolutionary War simply because we were smarter, knew the terain and had better military preparation. We did not win The Revolutionary War simply because of the guns we were using (that was a draw).

The next time you see a soldier or a vet please thank them.

That is the craziest thing I have ever heard and I pray you do not own a gun. Tell me, how are gun owners going to use their guns to keep our government honest? Please give me a clear example and synopsis.
