Tyrants always act out of fear. Remember when the Food Stamp President visited Afghanistan .... he not only has the Afghanistanis disarmed (his fellow Muslims) but also the military personnel present. Only those military leaders whose meteoric rise to the top was through anal smooching can be counted on by his pond scum administration. He needs that civilian force (armed and trained as well as the military) to carry out his plans because the military cannot be counted on to perform unconstitutional acts. You see the same thing throughout history from the Roman Praetorian Guard to Hitler’s Gestapo to Russia’s KGB to the Food Stamp President’s Homeland Security & Justice Dept.

This writer doesn’t know that a big ol’ bunch of Marines and other military, along with commandeered tanks, fighter jets and smart bombs will be fighting alongside us, and that the action to defend against tyranny is not going to just stay defensive.
“Our military does not do well when fighting people who are fighting for their freedoms on their own turf. We lost in Vietnam...”
I take respectful issue with that, at worst we left it as a draw with never a lost battle, and promised to supply the south with munitions which CONgress subsequently reneged on. Not to mention the fact that high level policy whonks admitted publically that they never intended it to be a “won” war (which, in a just world, would have had them rotting from a lamppost in an iron maiden).
bump to that...
This ignorant turkey doesn’t know or chooses to overlook that any rifle projectile suitable for hunting deer will overcome standard police vests.
Tell it to the Armenians, Russians, Jews, Chinese, Cubans, Guatemalans, Ugandans, Rwandans, Cambodians, etc.
1. Registration 2. Confiscation 3. Extermination
Question:
Did the Turks, Nazis and Soviets treat their scapegoat enemy populations better, or worse, after they were disarmed?
