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

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...

1. Identify the regime collaborators and sympathizers, those who would rightly expect protection. This could be media, academia, business groups etc.

2. Target members of those groups.

Agreed in principle, except for one thing. After the initial attacks upon the rebellious, the "useful idiots" you are describing are their next target if history is any indicator. We'd be saving the oppressor's forces the trouble. Get the ones who are a danger to you, sure (that liberal brother in law who hates your weapons collection and is sure to rat you out comes to mind).

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

they target us and ours, we target them and theirs. All’s fair in love and war.

Why shoot at cops and soldiers?

That is the kind of thinking that I support.

... assuming those would be our soldiers ...

No but they never had a chance but they did beat them back a few times. And I am not just going to hand them over. “Nuts” to obama and his NAZIS! Just like the screaming eagles and Bastogne.

Before I became a Marine, I was a Boy Scout. I do know and understand preparation.

7.62 x 54R speaks well enough for my vision. With good glass, it votes out to 1000 yards.
