Goggle it - simple to find info but basically refers to the fact that the American Revolution was fought (by about 3% of the population) against the King with a number of patriots - far less than a number sufficient to "vote" him out of office...the phrase has taken on a modern life of its own - alluding to the perhaps small number of firearms owners not willing to ever surrender to oppressive governmental regulation of what many consider a God-given right.
The state of CT and the Hartford Courant are forcing a confrontation with a percent, perhaps even a small percent, of otherwise law abiding people willing to fight in defense of the Constitution.
I do hope that the State of CT does the right thing and repeals the registration requirement and that the Hartford Courant retracts their call for registration and prosecution of ordinary, law abiding citizens.
