The Boston non-importation act was in 1768, and the Boston Massacre was in 1770. The Boston Tea Party wouldn’t happen for three more years in 1773, and we declared our Independence three years after that, in 1776.
There was eight years between all those events, not three. It’s kinda funny how people around here think that since we haven’t acted yet, in three months, all is already lost, when it took our forefathers eight years just to tell the British that we were tired of their shit.
Also, Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty were the original TheDonald and kept the based shitposting machine going absolutely nonstop in their pubs and taverns to “light brush fires of freedom in the minds of men.”
Flyers,print them out put them up everywhere. Along with websites like hereistheevidence.com and joebiden.info. put them on grocery carts or under windshield wipers if need be.

All valid and historically correct points. Also true however is that in 2021 things move far more quickly. What happened over years back then can happen in mere months today.

Important to note that it wasn’t “formally” banned. The Crown just made it so that exporters needed to get permission from the British government to ship arms to the Colonies. They never approved any export requests.
Basically, they created barriers and hurdles in an effort to prevent free people from defending themselves. Much like our government is doing today.
Those dates are kinda wrong.
