Know what kind of response that practically guarantees? You say that kind of thing to a soldier and you're going to provoke a challenge you almost certainly can't win. You cannot stand against a "full on" military assault. Not even for a little while and they know it. Any combat veteran knows the power that can be brought to bear in a committed attack and they also know that the odds of one of them being seriously injured during the course of said action is extremely remote. So sure, say that and promptly sign your will. It's that simple.
The BEST that we can pray for in the case of an outright subversion of the Constitution (say in the case of a merger between USA, Canada & Mexico (the so called North American Union) is that certain factions inside the military and police will rebel, and take their skills and equipment with them to join in a revolution. That would take some time. In the short run, individuals will be sacrificed as examples so as to frighten the general public into submitting to global authority. Will it work? Sure it will. But you and YOURS will serve first as that bloody example. Maybe. I pray not.
Ah, but ... who is “Big Mack”?
Oh, we know the power that can be brought to bear on ... who? where?
Even if identified, is the collateral damage tolerable? We’re not talking strangers in a strange land, we’re talking your neighbors harmed for a political agenda. Razing a neighborhood to get a “FMCDH” type will stop awfully quick once the votes & tax money sources get outraged.
Oh, sure, the occupants of Waco and Ruby Ridge didn’t stand a chance. Most of ‘em didn’t make it; many who did regret it.
Yet ... that kind of overwhelming force was never applied again for another 15 years until NOLA/Katrina - and that came to a screeching halt when those who remembered reminded those who didn’t.
Is he one of, say, 18,000,000 deer hunters with, er, suitable equipment? Need I say more?
How about those not vocal enough to post publicly?
Are you familiar with the terms...
“Phyrric victory”?
“Unintended Consequences”?
“Feed the hogs”?
“S^3”?
