“Remember when the colonists stood in line to register their muskets? Me either”

“Remember when the colonists stood in line to register their muskets? Me either” is a Second Amendment (right to bear arms) saying that has been printed on several images. The saying refers to the American Revolution, when colonists used their guns to fight the British. The pro-gun meme speaks against gun registration.
     
“Remember when the Colonists stood in line to register their muskets??? Me either…” was posted on Twitter by Jan Morgan on January 6, 2014. “Remember when the Colonists stood in line to register their muskets…? ...me either” (shown on an image) was posted on Facebook  by Cold Dead Hands on January 9, 2014. “Remember when the colonists stood in line to register their muskets? ...me either” (shown on an image) was posted on the website Political Humor on March 26, 2014. The saying probably originated with this image.
   
“Me neither” is often used. “Have you seen all the photos of American colonists lining up to register their muskets? Yeah. Me neither” was posted on Twitter by Kelley Walker Perry on February 25, 2014. “Does anyone remember when the Colonists stood in line to register their muskets? ME NEITHER!!” was posted on Twitter by JAE WILLIAMS on July 31, 2014. “Remember when the Colonists stood in line to register their Muskets? Ya….Me neither” was posted on Twitter by Joel on July 7, 2015.
