The thought strikes: If you could do a genealogy trace on modern gun-grabbers with Founding-era roots, I wonder if there would be a statistically significant preponderance of Tory ancestors.
Well one of my ancestors was president of the continental congress for a term. He was a lousy general,. But he put his life on the line just like Washington, Jefferson and the rest. Can we do any less?
My guess is that the majority will have come from families that immigrated to, and never left, the big Eastern cities. And they did it after the country had already mostly expanded to its current continental borders.
