I didn't feel disrespected. Part of "their" "power" is the projection "they" are unstoppable and near omnipotent.....as further portrayed by the media/teevee mouth pieces through things like CSI Miami, Law & Order, NCIS etc.
Some of your Navy counterparts actually requested guys from our company to travel to their facility and teach urban combat/CQB so they could learn what worked and what didn't.
In my post, I was trying to dispel some of the myth that "they" are unstoppable. For the most part, surprise is their biggest force multiplier.
And, silly string won't save them ;)
As an aside, I don't think it will come to mass confiscation and door to door raids (maybe in a select few areas)....more along the lines of targeting individuals in order to rule by the fiat of fear.....ala Randy Weaver and the Branch Davidians.
Of course, the individuals will be painted as kooks, lunatics, dangerous enemies of the state, and unAmerican. The weak principled sheeple will turn in whatever cap guns they were trying to hold onto and everyone else ill be wondering if their neighbors will discover their arms and rat them out. Of course it will probably continue on like that as who is the bad guy?
Even in NY, one of the Sheriffs just stated he was NOT coming for the citizen's guns and the people should retain them and basically screw the law........hypothetically if a SHTF scenario of this manner came about, what then?
Just my two cents.
There are bad asses in all branches. Some need more training or reminders of their rolls. Understand that they are not unstoppable.
My sister was here and I tried to give her a little “in-service” briefing about weapons and differences. She whipped out her camera and I said NO! Knowing her she would have posted it to her facebook proclaiming “Look at my brothers guns!” LOL! I told her no pics. Looks worse than it is with that .22 revolver and .22 Ruger and 50 rnds of ammo. LOL! THE arsenal. Somebody knows but no specifics. Most of the neighbors are of a like mind and there are only a few that would drop a dime and they don’t know who has what and where. Local sheriff is not AR friendly. Not sure about the rank and file guys.
Stay safe.
