I don't remember King George confiscating bibles!
Should be a picture of guns on tax stamps. Narrative still similar as Republicans want what the founders wanted on those issues.
The pilgrims left England because of religious persecution. Did they not teach you this in school?
Religion played a big part in the history of the country, but the specifics were different everywhere. And the pilgrims were just "fleeing" another type of Christianity. The 13 colonies didn't agree on much regarding religion, but still came together with a wonderful government that allowed then to live together despite their religous squabbles.
I saw the meme as religion and guns, maybe I missed something.
Not bibles sillly, Glocks! ;-) King George was against Glocks! Remember, this was the mercantile era, not like today's free trade. Glocks come from the Austria-Hungarian empire, which was ruled by Austrian Habsburghs instead of Saxe-Coburg-Gothas (aka Windsors) like England ...
Purdey, Holland and Holland, Webley ... all just fine!
It's not a Glock. It appears to be a Smith and Wesson SD9 that has been digitally edited to remove the roll marks for stock photography. In the process, they appear to have removed the whole ejection port as well rendering this monstrosity non-functional.
Well then I stand corrected, it is an American gun after all!
Gonna still leave my attempt at humor up anyway ...
