That's a 10,000,000 man militia right there
No, a militia is organized. This is (potentially) 10,000,000 well-armed people who are geographically dispersed and many of whom actively hate each other.
As a cop said about forty five years ago, “When only us cops have guns, us cops won’t get shot!”
The left worships state power. The left hates personal power. The left hates personal wealth, personal accomplishment, personal firearms they even hate traditional models of masculinity. Anything that gives the individual power in the face of the state is anathema to the left.
History. In every dictatorship in recorded history there has never been a shortage of wannbe thugs, concentration camp guards, throat cutters (Cambodia) who were ready willing and able to arrest, brutalize, and murder their fellow citizens at their governments' behest. SOME cops might quit, but the majority didn't join the police to question orders or to judge the constitutionality of laws. As one self identified cop on FR told me - if you have a problem with the law, take it up with the legislature because it's my job to enforce it not question it.
Oh and BTW in the NYC gun confiscations in the early '90s there was not a single reported instance of cops failing to arrest anyone who had one of the evil "assault rifles" after the confiscation deadline had passed.
he’s apparently not seen the youtube videos of the cops shooting themselves, or others.
It's the reportage. Media campaign.

In the English language the plural pronoun they does NOT refer to a singular subject such as "the person" Neal Boortz has accepted the Liberal use and redefinition of language to avoid suggesting that there might be some difference between the sexes. In English the masculine gender pronoun is used to refer to a gender indefinite person. The liberal, being gender indefinite, insists that the plural shouldbe thus used.
It’s because “Hatred is not a family value.” Correct; it’s a liberal value.
good point by you and others.
We are also forgetting that we have a branch of government that loathes “self help” because it neutralizes the need for that branch. That is the judiciary. Judges see the second amendment as competition. If citizens take care of problems then what will they do?
(not as if civil trials are all but extinct on the federal level)
Yeah, big city cops...I mentioned that. And certain members of the military would fall in line as well. But there’s too many American military personnel who don’t like Obama or any Marxists. In the case of a tyrannical grab for power, I think we’d see some kind of coup from patriotic armed forces people. And many small town and rural cops have already said they’d refuse to follow any kind of confiscation order.
Libs are easy to figure out. Dear leader could outlaw eating and 70% of them would starve to death.
There is a large difference between not following a confiscation order and actively siding with the populace. I agree that some police forces might be inclined to sit it out, but I'm still sure that there will be no shortage of JBTs more than willing to murder their fellow citizens for resisting the government's unconstitutional actions. After all with 0's newly announced drone policy summary executions have now become standard policy. Who needs due process? An outmoded concept from that living document - the constitution.
You need not go further than the police state that was New Orleans post-Katrina for examples of rogue cops from all across the country wantonly violating the rights of US citizens.
What is now? Fifteen such cops have been successfully prosecuted for murder?
That statistic begs the question of how many more SHOULD BE?
If most government employees actually lived according to proper moral dictates there would be NO IRS, there would be NO ATF, there would be a lot of unmanned agencies because they would not be able to hire people to work in such anti-constitution and anti-freedom agencies. I don’t know why people persist in indulging fantasies of being saved by the moral superiority of people who demonstrate no such characteristics.
I am too old to work for the government but if I could do so and chose to do so in the face of what is going on you could rest assured that I had already decided to abandon all pretense of morality.
Here is your answer:
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.Human nature is exactly the same now as it was in 1775, We face the same tyranny except from Washington instead of London Instead of redcoats we have black uniform SWAT teams eager to shoot someone because the can. Unlike 1775 the bulk of the populace fears freedom and hates and envies those of us who don't want to be slaves.
I may be wrong on this, but I know of none that were successfully prosecuted for murder. They were prosecuted for things like "violation of oath of office" or violating civil rights. such things carry a lesser sentence than murder.
He did kill some. The gubmint knows that if it comes to it, they won’t win through attrition.
