The colonialists were defending themselves against native tribes and had their own police force and government. The colonies joined together to succeeded from England the way a few states might try to succeed from the Fed today. It wasn't just guys saying "this is bullshit". Those kind happen, like Shays' Rebellion, but they're local. If you organize a few guys you're going to fight your city and state before you ever fight the fed in an organized manner. If you want to start a rebellion patterned after the Revolutionary war you do it by not shooting, at least not right away. You'd do better to make Patrick Henry speeches at city council meetings. If you can't win popular support there, what makes you think you'll win it blowing holes in people?
