Don’t 53% have deserve it?
I doubt it. I doubt they’d be asked, either. Soldiers are mostly the same redneck good ‘ol boys that would theoretically be the ‘enemy’.
Ammo purchases are likely more about choking off the civilian market than actually acquiring the ammo for use.

We know it’s 47% + the government against the 3%
Funny. This article coming one day after the anniversary of Kent State.
“....they have Predator drones, spy satellites, and sophisticated online surveillance and communication systems.”
.
And a Congress that seems to support a tyrannical government.
Oh, BTW, if one waits until option #2 or #3 you will just be labelled another nutcase with an “arsenal” of weapons and ammo “stockpiled” in your basement.
Yes.
They have already appeared on several FR threads last year and said so.
Any flag-rank officer who might refuse such an order is being run out of DC on a rail, and replaced by those loyal the The Obama.
They will issue the order, and they will fire. Those who might refuse, are already out.
Response: Yes. That is why "The Divine One" is pushing for a Sodomite, weirdfemale, minority, noncitizen army. They will do his bidding as they owe their very being to him.
Comment: Now a question I have not seen posed: Will U.S. Citizens fire on the military?
Since gun confiscation is always a prelude to extermination, might as well go down fighting.
There are more than 3 percent who will fight, and 40 percent who will support the fight, and they are concentrated in a contiguous block of states. We will need some brave governors and state legislatures to say "enough" at some point, and begin the preparation.
To me, the line is when they seek registration of the guns. Prepare for battle at that event. The fight begins when they come for those who don't comply. I hope we have a few states, most particularly Texas, who say no, and can form a base for resistance. If not, if we are few and scattered, it will be tough to mount anything, especially since they know who we are and where we are.
I'd like to see some state governors creating their own state militias. It is constitutional, and they do not have to permit the President to federalize them.
>> But three percent was enough.
3% was enough for fighting an enemy with a 2000 mile supply chain that had to cross a dangerous ocean in sailing ships.
Our enemy has a supply line that at his fingertips, along with all the armored motorized transport he needs.
If on the other hand, total war tactics are employed, things will get ugly pretty quick. Leftists/Socialists have always been thourough in their elimination of opponents. See Stalin, Mao, Kim Jung, etc.
Factor in the indoctrination attempts in the military whereby law abiding, God fearing, small government types are portrayed as the enemey and you now have a potential significant percentage of the military willing to shoot our fellow Americans....or apprehend.
Remember Ayers said it would take about 25 million casualties to bring about the change the Left wants. Think about that...25 million...and that was 40years ago. That number is more likely to be around 50-75 million now.
How many gun owners are in the U.S.?
They will then NOT be OUR military, but an enemy force inside our country, controlled by an illegitimate leader.
There, that makes it a lot easier.
You are right as to the commanders. We have to hope that as you move farther down the ranks, you find that fewer and fewer service members would follow such orders.
Up here in the mountains if you cut off a rattlesnake`s head, his tail will wiggle n` rattle until sundown but he can`t bite no more.
Those that don't know history will see it repeated.
You're forgetting one thing: that supply-line is right inside the disputed territory -- and the 'enemies', being Americans, will blend in with the general American population... this is one of the problems that makes Iraq, Afghanistan and the like so difficult, militarily speaking. If CWII kicks off, there's an instant vulnerability to guerrilla warfare.
I believe this is whey there's such a big push to confiscate guns; at that point they can justify firing on armed Americans on the basis of them being "law breakers". Their hope is to (a) disarm as many as possible [or at least legally justify the killing of them], and (b) do it rapidly, they cannot survive any protracted confrontation, especially one where more and more people will have their personal "line" crossed as time goes on.
