When They Come For Your Guns, You Will Turn Them Over
Daily Reckoning ^ | 02/20/2014 | Jim Karger

Posted on 02/21/2014 10:37:55 AM PST by Rusty0604

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...

“No, but those Marines took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and most of them are smart enough to know when their orders countervene the Constitution - don’t tell the leftists.”

True, however with the continuous purge of high ranking officers, being replaced with useful idiots, it won’t be long before those idiots are replaced with hardcore ideologues who will purge their ranks.

Their tactics and preparations can be easily defeated thus:

1. Identify the regime collaborators and sympathizers, those who would rightly expect protection. This could be media, academia, business groups etc.

2. Target members of those groups.

3. Force the regime forces outside their own "protective envelope" where they cannot be challenged, onto the streets to protect regime supporters.

4. Target the regimes forces outside their protective envelope. One or two at a time. Daily.

This approach is best effected from as great a distance as possible. At no time should your individual plan be known to anyone but yourself and there should never be talk or collaboration with anyone on the subject.

And they will use “suspicion” of drugs as an excuse.

“Jose Guerena was a U.S. Marine veteran who served in the Iraq War and was killed in his Tucson, Arizona home, on May 5, 2011, by officers of the Pima County SWAT team, while they were executing a warrant to search his home in relation to an ongoing investigation into drug smuggling.”

The think about liberals is their crudity. The run out to be agitprop, and they just can’t help but write “agitprop” on themselves before they do it.

They solved their crudity problem, though. They simply declared themselves subtle.

“You are not going to take on a platoon of Marines with state-of-the-art automatic weapons...”

Well thats good news because a platoon of marines is about all there are here in the states. I guess nobody told this genius that all the military are overseas fighting senseless wars. There are not enough “willing” military in the US to subjagate 3 cities much less go door to door over a continent and try to pick up guns.

In fact I’d bet that there are 5 times as many well trained vets that are already back from Iraq and Assaghanistan sitting at home cleaning their AR’s waiting for the door to door confiscation.

Anyone and everyone who hopes for some idiotic 'Civil War II' . . . Absolutely everyone from top to bottom will be immediately sorry it happened the moment it began.

I agree and disagree. War is a terrible thing, and the far left will be shocked at how terrible it is for everyone, including themselves and their families, if they provoke CWII (we won't be happy either). However, war is the right choice when all other options are even worse. The trick for America's enemies is to move slowly enough that decent people always assume immediate war would be worse than giving up just a little more freedom in return for peace in our time. So far, America's domestic enemies are doing a pretty good job.

Dude, the US military isn't big enough to subdue one state the size of Tennessee, let alone the entire USA. You read to much fiction. Lets say there are 5000 main battle tanks in the USArmy arsenal. That is assuming they aren't deployed overseas but here. Do the math, divide 5000 by 50 states. 100 tanks is not enough to patrol a mid sized city let alone AN ENTIRE STATE. The US military is perfect for defeating a foreign Army of one country at a time, not taking on the ENTIRE USA How many soldiers will defect half - maybe all? What a stupid post you cobbled together.
