One need merely think about the history of the 20th Century to recognize that no authoritarian regime,right,left,or personality centered that did not depend on paramilitary forces operating independently from the military and thoroughly politicized.Let’s see:the SA,SS(Germany),Iron Guard,Securitate(Romania),Falange(Spain)Red Guard(Communist China)NKVD,OGPU,MVD,(USSR)AVO,Arrow Cross(Hungary),Balckshirts(Italy)Gestapu(Indonesia)Revolutionary Guard(Iran)-getting the point here?
The US has had Federal law enforcement agencies,but never a national police force.The closest thing to a paramilitary is the Border Patrol,but they have little impact on anyone except smugglers and illegal aliens,because they have limited and very specific duties.
Some free societies have national police,such as France(Gendarmerie)or Italy(Carabinieri),but the US has no such tradition.
Every third world craphole where the citizens are treated like chattel has paramilitary forces answerable only to the national leader.
Obama has designs for this force-probably first to disarm the citizenry.And that is when s””t will pick up as they say.These recycled gangsters will find out quick enough that so many armed citizens have military and/or police experience,or are just good marksmen and hunters.These scumbags will need a lot of replacements when they start making moves.
Let’s see-80 million legal gun owners-90% comply-10% don’t-that’s EIGHT MILLION potential Ruby Ridge situations.
I don’t have any sympathies in common with Randy Weaver-just illustrating a point.
Do you really think the compliance rate will be as high as 90%?
