(Are you sure? A military comprised primarily of sons, daughters, brothers and sisters of gun owning families.)
It is time for Americans to start thinking seriously about the possibility that their sons and daughters may be put in the untenable position going house-to-house, confiscating firearms and ammunition from their friends and family? What will they do?
Throughout the military - the kids, grandkids, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and friends of veterans and gun enthusiasts are likely weighing the possibilities of such an order and just how far they personally would be willing to go in carrying out something that would rip the very fabric of this nation apart and go against everything theyve sworn to protect. In thinking the unthinkable, certainly they must be questioning the end game and who are the real good guys. Especially, when they see...
...If you are on the progressive left, what do you think? Are you sure? Really?
Lets look at a few demographics that might cause you on the left to reassess your certainty.
In 2001, a survey was completed by Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in North Carolina of the 50 states, DC and Territories asking people nationwide if there are any guns in their homes. The percentage of people having guns in their homes ranged from 59.7% in Wyoming to...

Damn Democrats - remember, the orders were given by Democrats, and the US troops were National Guardsmen under orders from their governor, not the Federal command structure.
Still doesn’t change the fact that apparently US troops will demonstrably accept the order and carry it out.

Not if it’s your own article and the site isn’t on the ‘excerpt only’ list.
Thanks for the info. I don’t post that often.
As a Vet, I agree with your comment 110%.. Watch out for DHS..
The military would do what they’re told by those who pay them; there is no reason to think otherwise. The war in Iraq showed how analytical our military is.
From their COD, patriot. No inch, no quarter.
Remember the recent stories of obammy requiring officers to state they have NO reservations against ordering their men to shoot Americans if told to do so or they will not be retained during the coming military draw down.
You got that straight. With no doubt.
The DHS is led by a real tyrant. However, I would bet that there are many in DHS ranks that don’t agree with want is going on. We need to be having conversations with veterans, military, carefully feeling out DHS people, local police, sheriffs etc.
I don’t think he’s going to ask the military. I think he’s going to lock the military down, and use DHS and Federal LEOs to do the dirty work, backed up by 2500 MRAPs.
Discussion: As important as range time is do we all want to expend what ammo we have, even range dedicated ammo for target shooting at a time we cannot replace the ammo due availability?
“Rock and a hard place.”
As a veteran I monitor a lot of service related blogs and social media in relation to opinions and current activity of active duty guys. If the unthinkable were to happen I’m completely convinced the hard core “boots on the ground” types will do what’s right. And I’m talking about the 11B’s, Marines and Special Forces types, not the POG’s sitting behind desks and filing out paperwork. The hardcore guys that are literally on the line know a lawful order from an unlawful order and they are VERY vocal about this issue. They DO keep up with current events. In one recent posting I’ve seen they were discussing the easiest way to take out those military grade vehicles that DHS just purchased. I’m not worried about our brothers in arms. they would be one of our best assets along with us veterans.
They will start in the ghettos, disarming the “violent”. After the troops are desensitized, they will move on to softer objectives...
That's a far more likely scenario than the military going door to door to seize guns. Most military people are right-wingers. How in the world is Obama going to get these patriots to confiscate guns from other patriotic Americans? I think we'd see a coup first, and Obama knows it. We'll never see an order like that.

And the NOLA confiscations came to an abrupt halt when, behind the scenes, other agencies made clear things would get ugly if continued.
A common theme in NOLA: the “confiscations” were voluntary handovers. Save perhaps the one incident of the old lady, agents asked and arms were turned over; those unwilling to comply were left alone.
Bingo: Finally the correct answer.
The military is trained from the git-go to obey orders. That is what they will do.
A few may balk, but they will quickly be dealt with.
Or they will arm the ghettos to the extent that they need any more arms and set them off to create the anarchy and societal collapse they need to totally remake the country. With enough chaos, they can start using area weapons and just eliminate whole sectors whenever they want.
In 1917, the Russian Czar ordered his troops to fire on their own people. Instead, the military joined the insurrection.
