This sounds like something put out by the Southern Poverty Law Center. They are such paranoid liars.. Every cop I know voted FOR Obama.

I think you may be wrong. I have been on a county SWAT team for 16 years, 2 months ago we did a search warrant with an ATF agent ( to go Fed. on a dirt bag. Before the raid I told him that when Obama sent him to my house for my guns he better have his ducks in a row. He just laughed and said he would call in sick that day. You see alot of us Gummit workers as you call us are near retirement and know that we will be “civies” also so my interest are much like yours. As I told a lib friend of mine just remember that when the crap hits the fan we own all the guns. PS:most street officers I know are very conservative it’s some of the Brass that are touchy-feely read libs. We live in the real world.

[achilles2000]

The question for your cop buddies, my cop buddies, and all LEOs generally is this: Whose side will you be on?

Should the worst happen, which no one wants, people won’t be interested in the answer to any other question.

[achilles2000]

Fully automatic weapons are largely useless. Even our military usually doesn’t use full auto even though they can - it is simply too inaccurate.

[Rome2000]

Civil War 2

And how many divisions do the "Progressives" have?

Seems to me that all that's required is the US Military in response to illegal orders from the muzzie in chief rounds up the socialists and puts them on a plane to Cuba.

Provisional military government for 6 months, then new elections for all congressional seats and the WH, incumbents need not apply.

Only tax paying citizens and veterans are enfranchised in the new Republic.

All amendments other than the original bill of rights are repealed.

"Dueling" legalized within the Washington DC limits.

Problem solved

Fully automatic weapons are largely useless.

Two thoughts:

1. That's why the government is so absolutely paranoid about allowing any civilian to have an automatic weapon.

2. CQB

[Nosterrex]

It depends upon how far the government is willing to go to establish a totalitarian state. Unless the military is ready to ignore orders by the Commander-in-Chief to make war on its own citizens, there is little that can be done as far as a revolution goes. He who has the guns makes the rules. The same goes for secession. Just as all tyrannical governments depend upon a strong military force to remain in power, so will the statists that run America.

Huh? This isn’t Britain:

What Good Can a Handgun Do Against an Army.....?

What does CQB stand for? ObamaCare Jokes Obama Jokes

[Mariner]

In the unlikely case of armed revolt, most cops, soldiers and veterans will be on the side of LIBERTY.

The commies in DC must know this, but if they don't they're in for a real surprise.

All armed. Trained. Disciplined.

The American Patriots can field a revolutionary army of 20 million men.

Easy.

[mamelukesabre]

They will say what side they will like to join. But I think we all know cops will simply bug out and lay low in the initial stages of the ugliness. They aren’t gonna risk their lives if they think it’s a job for the national guard or the army.

[Nosterrex]

Perhaps I did not make myself clear. The military has the fire power, civilians don’t. The axiom, “he who has the guns makes the rules,” was used figuratively. I’m surprised that you did not understand that.

[Poincare]

The sticks are red on the map of course, and the cities blue. The Obama/Waxman/Schumer gang are doing everything they can to hasten rural cleansing precisely because of the military importance of the sticks. So called “food safety” and animal identification legislation, and court rulings favoring obscure fish over water rights are to get small traditional, Jeffersonian, farmers off the land and to impoverish small towns.

All the fuss over health care is theater for popular consumption. After Obama controls the countryside he gets whatever health care (death care) program he wants with a stroke of the pen.

[2ndDivisionVet]

We are one of the few societies where almost anyone can own a rifle, shotgun or pistol freely. If by “firepower” you mean tanks, ICBMs, combat aircraft, artillery, heavy machine guns, cruise missiles and things like that, you are assuredly correct: The military has those and the civilians don't. However, as we saw in Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan, the Banana Republics, etc., insurgents don't fight toe-to-toe with a well-equipped military force unless they're suicidal. They ambush, set off explosives, sabotage, pick off collaborators, local leaders and individual soldiers, etc. One guerrilla ties down 3-8 troops. Well, if 20-50+ million citizens become partisans, there aren't enough soldiers in the whole wide world to deal with them, not counting those servicemembers that switch to the citizen's side.

[PA Engineer]

Half of that report is tin foil.

Is it?

[PA Engineer]

if 20-50+ million citizens become partisans

The important thing is that we know who they are. We know where they live and work. Union Halls for example? These are very soft targets. What is impossible for them is they do not know who we are. Best to keep it that way and the powder dry.

[achilles2000]

I don’t think it’s paranoia - it’s the symbolism, which is what drives much of the left’s anti-gun hysteria. “Assault” rifles are a good example. Feinstein and her staff basically just set up criteria that would apply to scary looking guns.

What is CQB?

[Biggirl]

Thanks for this e-mail. Would not suprise me if the tensions have been very high, but not to the extent I have seen in this e-mail.

[Biggirl]

....Plus most in the armed forces are center-right.
