It’s a bad idea to expect with complete faith that we know who will obey these orders. It’s also a bad idea to expect to be massacred to the point that it causes a complete lack of all will to resist what some seem to have already decided is a lost cause. We don’t have very many options at this point, and need to try and make the best of a bad situation that is coming soon in one fashion or the other.
Besides importing elements of faith into an analysis, I also look at reality.
I’ve been around law enforcement long enough to know that most in that occupation are circumspect to die on a hilltop for the glory of obuma. The cops ran when confronted with mobs throwing bricks and bottles in the ‘92 LA riots. That’s reality. You may have examples of the opposite, but I can’t find any recent examples.
Will cops run around confiscating guns from sheep in liberal cities? Sure, that’s a possibility, but it takes organization, training and discipline to send a body of armed men into an unknown territory and carry out a dangerous operation like going house-to-house and confiscating arms. I’ve seen no evidence of discipline in the federal alphabet agencies. Qualifying once a year on the range is not discipline.
The most recent example we have of an officious jerk ordering his army out to murder citizens was in the Libyan civil war. I was doing contract work for an israeli company and had a good view of that. After Kaddhafi ordered the army to put down the rebellion, more than 70% of the army deserted, returning home to the provinces to protect their families and taking their weapons with them.
He then ordered his southern mercenaries out to start killing Libyans. A shooting of kids at a college enraged the population. The military deserters hooked up with the provincial militias and slaughtered the mercenaries. The general of the army and elite officers who followed Kaddhafi’s orders were hanged or shot in the streets.
That’s reality. Think what you want.
