Freeper Travis McGee's (Matthew Bracken) ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC opens with a terrorist event involving a lone shooter. In the story, the event was a set-up and within two days of the attack, on the heels of non-stop media coverage and political smackdowns, Congress introduce and pass a bill to ban weapons, requiring citizens to turn in their arms for destruction within a week.

When I began reading Enemies Foreign and Domestic, it was just mind candy, like the novels of Brad Thor, Vince Flynn and Joel Rosenburg which I read regularly. After watching and reading the media coverage of the last 24 hours (Whoraldo was on FoxNews all night hosting/pimping this mess), I couldn't help feeling the scrip has been lifted directly from the pages of Bracken's first book - many of the "pundits" are speaking the same talking points as characters in the book and I don't like the implications or hysteria this is stirring.

Anyone concerned with 2nd Amendment freedoms should read Matt Bracken imho. It reminds us how fragile our rights really are. Of course, passing such a law on a tsunami of public outrage/sheeple panic and actually enforcing it are very different things and the novel plays out along those lines with the powers doing "whatever needs to be done" to make every gun-owner look like extremists whackos. I was stunned by the fiction, but real life is once again overtaking fantasy, imho.

That scenario is particularly chilling when it is seen that the judge who was killed indicated he was going to rule against Obama’s powers associated with an Executive Order that would allow him to set up governors to take over the US in a national emergency.

I need to read more closely to find the exact details, but the judge who was killed may well have stood in the way of Obama being able to take over the country in a very specific way through a national emergency that the Cloward-Piven folks may well be working on manufacturing as we speak. Or Obama’s Islamist or communist buddies. All it would take is for Napolitano to screw up again, letting an effective terrorist get past.

The Giffords shooting (with Giffords left in remarkably good condition after being shot at point-blank range) could have been a good cover to kill Judge Roll, who will now be replaced by a judge of Obama’s choosing to decide this critical case for Obama.
