I had never heard of the Battle of Athens, TN. that took place in 1946 until I read this months History Channel magazine. Looking on the net, I found this American Heritage magazine article that went into great detail. I hope you enjoy the read.

If more people knew this story,perhaps the true reason for having the Second Amendment would be better understood.

I only knew about it because I stumbled up on it while surfing for something else.

This exercise of power by the people is exactly what is feared by control freaks on both sides of the aisle.
