Combined US military personnel: 600,000
Armed American citizens: 100,000,000


Your point is well taken. However, the USGovt has more than 600K available for gun confiscation schemes.

There are around 500,000 soldiers in the US National Guard.

With more than 200,000 employees, DHS is the third largest Cabinet department

USA active military approximately 1,390,000

DOJ 111,993

That is closer to 2,201,993 - much greater than just 600,000. Desk jockeys in DOJ, DOD, and DHS will be called upon to arm themselves and get with the program, in a CW scenario

This is a great PSA and needs to be seen by all 310 million Americans. Hussein Soetoro must be stopped.

I’m a Texan, and i just can’t imagine what Travis, Bowie, or Crockett would say about this. (Actually, i doubt if Bowie would SAY much at all...)

The only liberties he can suspend if there is a civil war are those of his side.

98% of the military comes from conservative, patriot families. Won’t end well for Hussien.

This crew of thugs will invite our enemies in to help with the clean up. It will be quite bloody for all who are involved.

Bookmark this one for the next useful idiot that says that they’re not going to go any further with gun control laws, they’re not coming for our guns, etc. Obama himself says “this is only the beginning”.

“Gun confiscation” is a paranoid fantasy. It can’t happen without a legion of “confiscators” and that can never exist.

Not a history major, eh?

Thanks for the corrected numbers, Cheerio. I think we can still see how badly the federals are outnumbered by the people.

If only one in ten citizens held their ground during a worst case scenario, that would still be a force of 10,000,000. That's five to one odds, which aren't good for the federals.

Let us also not forget that US forces would be asked to turn their guns on their own kin and countrymen. I'm guessing that at least two thirds would mutiny, which would leave the federals in a position to do little more than surrender.

As I've said before, I know this has been war gamed out many times, and the answer has always been the same. The government does not have the physical might to overpower the people. This is why the Commies are continually pushing to disarm us. We cannot be overcome by force unless they do so.

That seems to be the GOP’s battleplan.

That’s the only way he can gain complete PEOPLE control. The Founding Fathers made it clear that the 2nd was NOT just for hunting and recreation, or even personal protection, per se.

They intended the 2nd as the means for the citizenry to defend themselves from an overreaching dictatorial power-grabbing government. They had just fought a WAR to gain THEIR freedom from one of those governments. Those very wise men knew that it could happen again. And here it is.

"The Kenyan evolved on “gun control”. He wants to take us back to the evolutionary days of boulders and clubs."

He's AFRAID of us. He is convinced someone is going to try to oot-shay his ass. Failing that, he has his special forces food-tasters. If I was that paranoid, I'd be wearing one of those nice white jackets with the extra long sleeves, trimmed with leather and buckles.
