King Charles Demands Gunsmiths Help Him Develop a Gun Registry
BY Herschel SmithYou’ve all heard about FFLs and gunsmiths being pressured to tell the FedGov everything about everyone, as well as banks in the pocket of big government and tracking gun and ammunition sales. Yes, you have. Well, there is nothing new about this.

The colonies fought a war over this sort of thing. But then, I think they were of stouter stock than we.
Always remember the roots of the desire to control others.
As to your assertion that the founding fathers were of stouter stock than we:
“Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
— Tennyson, “Ulysses”
Great find. Would you mind telling me what book you are quoting from?
Davod, the link goes here:

Well, that quote is not from the paper itself. So I stand… confused.
OK, one last try. Checking the Reddit thread linked (where the same question gets asked), the OP replies it’s The Second Amendment Manifesto by John Paine. I found it on Amazon, and I’m sure it’s available elsewhere.
(I really should have clicked that first link before I commented the first time.)
I believe this is what you’re after.

Thank’s everyone. I got the Audible and Kindle versions.
I also downloaded the paper.
