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...

“I’m thinking a middle (finger) for them.”

Agreed. It’s not meant to signify “#1”, either.

RAH!

Why shoot at cops and soldiers? The politicians and bureaucrats that sent them are much softer targets.

Not only softer but far more strategic.

You can always tell when a guy is angry and frustrated by his own Cowardice.

I’m watching a funeral service in Kiev.

http://espreso.tv/stream

Lightly armed protesters with rocks, molotavs, a few guns, some pellet rifles and sling shots were bunched up behind the barricades a night ago.

Today they occupy the full square and beyond. No police in sight. President Yershenko (sp?) has reportedly fled the country. Former PM Yulia Tomesko(sp?) has reportedly been freed from jail.

Don’t know how it will all ultimately work out over there, but it shows that a massive upwelling of resistance and coordination is a powerful thing. On the other hand, if the police just go after “nutjobs with an arsenal” a few at a time to keep people in line, that might work. And we will make comments like “2 pistols, three shotguns and a 30-30? That’s what I have in my pickup truck!”.

——Wasn’t there only pistols and molitov cocktails that held off the nazis in the Warsaw ghetto——

The story is documented in Leon Uris book “Mila 18”...well worth the read....imho one of the greatest books ever written...

...and to answer your question....they also made bombs to blow up the Nazi’s....

The Nazi’s eventually overwhelmed them...but they paid a heavy, heavy price...
