Let's see, colonists that needed to feed themselves, fight off the Indians and keep the wild animals away from their livestock and fields. Yes, every household had at least one gun, usually one per male.
The start of the war was when British forces were sent to arrest colonial leaders and seize their privately held weapons and ammunition. They marched on Concord where the British regular army forces numbering in the hundreds were met with about 70 colonists.
British officer Pitcairn ordered the colonists to disperse, they did not then he had his men open fire into the civilians and they were followed when they ran into their homes where the government forces murdered them in front of their families.
At Lexington many more colonists were behind a stone wall watching as the British spiked their cannons and threw their ammo into the pond, next they broke open their stored flour and other grains, then the Britsh cut down the Liberty pole and as they began to set fire to the town a minister leaped onto the rocks and cried out '
'Fire in the name of God Fire''
so yes the citizens were armed in spite of government restrictions.
Yes a valid argument can be made that this nation began as a Christian nation, and no the men there did not belong to a well regulated militia. Later at Bunker Hill the colonists were defeated only because of their lack of ammunition which was a direct result of the government attempts to disarm tyhem, that is why they felt so strongly about the freedom to own weapons, so that they never passed a law disarming tories after the war. This clearly shows we have current leaders who are ignorant or have an agenda different from our founding fathers. Yes, the citizens were armed with their privately owned firearms and ammunition.
