Weren't the loyalists known as "Tories"?
I choose to take that as a metaphor for something else.
That was me at age 5 or 6 when dad took me quail hunting and I begged to fire his shotgun - flat on my ass. Then i ratted him out to mom. I know. F'ing little weasel.
Buddy, you're a gun, make a big noise
Shootin in the street, gonna be a big GAT someday
You got mud in your breach, your mags a disgrace
Kicking that sling all over the place, singin'
Reee coil, reee coil, will rock you....

It commonly refers to:
Conservative Party (UK), a British political party
Conservative Party of Canada, a Canadian political party
Conservative Party of Canada (1867–1942)
Progressive Conservative Party of Canada (1942–2003)
Loyalist faction in the American Revolution
Tories (British political party), a British political faction of the 17th to 19th centuries
Tory Party (disambiguation), other political parties by that name
I see. Amazing how distasteful that name is/would be here for 100% of the public, despite the current Tories being many many many miles left of our current hard-right ultra-Nazi Republicans that somehow still fancy themselves "conservative."
...also in several ways left of our Democrat party.
That's pretty funny even if it's edited.
'tory' I assume you're referring to - it has another meaning IIRC from the Irish which I presume is the origin for what you're saying:
"The Irish peasantry also used the term Tory to refer to an outlaw or a miscreant of any kind into the 19th century." (from wiki)
... which I think is completely fair.
