When They Come For Your Guns, You Will Turn Them Over
Daily Reckoning ^ | 02/20/2014 | Jim Karger

Posted on 02/21/2014 10:37:55 AM PST by Rusty0604

The militarization of US police forces is ongoing and escalating. Many cities and towns now own tanks, armed personnel carriers, even attack helicopters, and almost all are outfitted with military weapons not available to the general public.

And, it is not just your hometown cops who are getting new boy-toys. The military itself is buying up weaponry not just for use in the current or next scheduled war, but to deal with the likes of you...

Also ignored (as if it didn’t even exist) is the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 which generally bars the military from law enforcement activities within the United States.

According to Public Intelligence:

“…for the last two years, the President’s Budget Submissions for the Department of Defense have included purchases of a significant amount of combat equipment, including armored vehicles, helicopters and even artillery, under an obscure section of the FY2008 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the purposes of ‘homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.

and the US government knows that civil uprisings are coming to a town near you just as soon as the fantasy of a healing economy is shattered, the US dollar fails, and unemployment goes to 30%+ in real numbers.

And, to you tough-talking Neo-Cons with your AR-15 rifles and a few thousand rounds of ammo, here is the reality: they will take your guns, and no, all your Second Amendment bluster aside, you are not going to do anything about it. You are not going to take on a platoon of Marines with state-of-the-art automatic weapons...

They can come to our homes but we won’t be there...we’ll be at THEIR homes.

Now is the time to identify and locate those who GIVE THE ORDERS. Where they work, where they live, how they travel, their recreation. After any attackers, they should be the first targets.

And while I do not approve of deliberately harming their families, there's no reason they should THINK I won't.

Misdirection is strong with this one ... these supplies are not in place to suppress unrest, they are to be used to establish control once the collapse effects have done the globalists’ work. Starvation, chaos, disease, and death will reduce the resistance to a whimper by the time the MRAPs are fueled up and manned and roll out into the basically pacified. The billions of rounds are not for pre-collapse work. They are for force projection after the battlefield has been ‘softened’. These bastards are not stupid. Evil, yes, but not stupid. They will not waste their assets trying to maintain control over a half-starved mass of cannibalizing walking dead.

I live in the most conservative County in MN. In that County, my city is the most conservative. My precinct within that city, is also one of the most conservative precincts in the State.

I chose this place on purpose. We are the deep red heart of the Northern blue State.

Our Sheriff is a good man. He’s already put out directives that Federal firearms confiscations will not happen in our County while he is still Sheriff.

Further East however, is Minneapolis... “Wretched hive of scum and villainy...” Also known as “a target rich environment”.

Dropping on the red line! It’s a piece of cake, if one knows what to do.

Those supplies better be really well guarded. Be a shame if something happened to them...

Both the American Revolution and the Texas war for Independence were sparked over attempted confiscation of weapons.

No way this nation can be disarmed by force.

Someone ran the numbers and posted this way beck when:

There are around 3.2 Million active and reserve military personnel (here and overseas) , add to that 800,000 law enforcement personnel and you get around 4 Million military & law enforcement personnel.

Compare this against the 100 – 120 Million gun owners.

Now there are most assuredly crossover in those numbers, not all gun owners would resist tyranny. And it is very likely that a fair number of military & law enforcement personnel would be on our side against the Statists.

But just for the sake of argument, lets just take the lower more conservative gun owner number of 100 Million and just have 25% resist [Meaning 75% giving up without a fight] and let’s assume that ALL military & law enforcement personnel would side with the national socialists, leaving out a crossover factor.

[And assuming all the personal from the military & law enforcement personnel would be able to ‘participate’]

That would mean 25 Million on the side of the freedom vs. 4 Million on the side of the national socialists. That would be a ratio of 25 against 4.

Even if 90% didn’t fight for our rights, that would mean a ratio of 10 to 4.

The ones I know wouldn’t follow an order that spits in the face of everything they have sacrificed to preserve.

Exactly why they will be targeted FIRST, in my opinion.

Guarding the ‘stash’ is what hollow point rounds are useful for ... not needed when just putting a round through the skull of a prisoner. These bastards are demonically led
