There will undoubtedly be more than that who do, but the number was selected to make two points.<BR/><BR/>First, the American revolutionaries who fought in the field (1775-1782, say) represented (as near can be determined) 3% of the colonial adult population. These were actively supported by perhaps 10% of the remaining population. There were actually more colonials fighting on the British side by the end of the war than on the rebel side.<BR/><BR/>Second, having made the historical point and turning our focus to today, applying the three percent, after 80 years of increasing government socialism, which is indoctrinated into kids at government run schools, some folks say that those who would fight for their property and liberty are far fewer than 3% of the total population. Preferring not to argue that point, we say, "Fine, make it just 3% of American gun owners, it's still enough."<BR/><BR/>The number of American gun owners being somewhere between 80 and 100 million, 3% of that is still a formidable number.<BR/><BR/>The Three Percent concept is more of an attitude than a social statistic. And I can tell one thing from overwhelming personal anecdotal experience. The number of Three Percenters is growing fast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-55778615415074776402008-12-05T05:40:00.000+00:002008-12-05T05:40:00.000+00:00The 3% of the patriots who own guns and will not r...The 3% of the patriots who own guns and will not register,license, or turn them in, or surrender them if ordered to do so.......m'kay? Oh, and they will probably kill anyone who endeavors to take them by force. According to this one guy, we(I'm one of them) are all show and no go, and are just a bunch of keyboard commandos and hypocrites. Oh, I forgot, we're also dangerous, and we cause 2nd A people to lose heart and be discouraged. And we also will probably never actually do anything(except blather) because see,like man, all these things have already happened,you know man, and we were told by other 2A people(prags)to not lose our heads and to keep working within the system, and all would be well. And the fuds told us to shut up, you're scaring the ladies and the kids, and you don't need them damn black rifles anyway to hunt deer, and don't you know nothing bad is going to happen here, this is America,damnit! So us dumb ass 3% just keep howling at the moon and waiting for the stuff to hit the fan so we can huff some more and puff ourselves up, and talk about what we're going to do the NEXT time the gubmint does XY or Z. That's us, the ole' dumb ass 3%. There's really only one requirement to join, seriously speaking. Or a not-requirement, so to speak. You have to be not yellow.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410045398729979497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-20177815613060741712008-12-05T03:44:00.000+00:002008-12-05T03:44:00.000+00:00Who are these "3%" you all keep talking about?
