The Battle of Athens
« on: April 04, 2012, 09:49:28 AM »
This true event occurred in Athens, TN in 1946. An armed revolt by WWII veterans took place at this time for the purpose of restoring law, justice and order in the town.  A very sobering but instructive video that all should see.
The reasons for the founders providing the nation the second amendment should be clearer to everyone after watching this.



The Battle of Athens was an armed rebellion led by WWII veterans and citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, United States, against the tyrannical local government in August 1946.
