IIRC, it wasn't even firing on the actual fort, but on a supply boat trying to run the blockade the Confederacy had on the fort to try and dislodge the soldiers who were, by all the RELEVANT laws (that is, those applicable in the Confederacy and South Carolina and Charleston, which US law had already been determined by SCOTUS to recognize as legitimate), operating an ongoing criminal operation.

No, they fired on the fort, they just didn't actually fire AT anyone. They drove the northern forces off without a single casualty.

Really. I often get in trouble from people on both sides of the argument because, at heart, I'm an accomodationist. (Yes, I made up a new word, live with it) I have a natural tendency to try to find a solution that works for all parties.

when I'm actually agreeing with that Harris about guns, that is a bad sign about how bad of a fuck-up this article is.

I'm actually think of making this a separate forum
