Nice little boat named "Popeye", do you like it?
We need a liberty rally in Boston, 1 million strong gun owners celebrating free speech and guns just to remind liberals where we stand
No it was not. Are you trying to claim all military armaments held on the colonies, were the property of the British Army? If so, you are wrong. The colonistists needed armaments to protect from the Indians and the French. They fought with the British army in the French and Indian War and acquired their own armaments.It didn't come from there but it was stolen from the Redcoats just the same. Taking fort Ticonderoga came later after the war started. Remember, Lexington and Concord was the first armed conflict of the revolution.You are talking about Fort Ticonderoga. This had nothing to do with Lexington and Concord.This is what I either read or heard during a tour of Boston:Please explain.Well, we did sort of steal the guns....
During the French and Indian War the British had taken a French fort out to the west'ard--out in the Ohio/Western New York area somewhere-- and it was pretty much just sitting there full of goodies, unused. The revolutionaries went out there and took all the weapons (including cannon) and ammunition and snuck it back to Boston in carts. That's what I remember of it. It was of course technically British armaments, therefore. Although I have no issue with us taking it. We had to get cannons somehow.

Wrong battle.
Capture of Fort Ticonderoga - Wikipedia
The Capture of Fort Ticonderoga occurred during the American Revolutionary War on May 10, 1775, when a small force of Green Mountain Boys led by Ethan Allen and Colonel Benedict Arnold surprised and captured the fort's small British garrison. The cannons and other armaments were later transported to Boston by Colonel Henry Knox and used to fortify Dorchester Heights and break the standoff at the Siege of Boston.
You're right. I've read three descriptions of Lexington and Concord, and the weapons used by the colonials were their own, I guess, because no one mentions them coming from somewhere else.You are talking about Fort Ticonderoga.

Like the cannon in San Antonio belonged to the Mexican government, that’s irrelevant to the fact the people felt they needed it for protection and no one was going to take it.You're right.
