Oh, the thugs won’t start until Obama orders seizure of all citizens’ firearms . . gradually . . and then we shall see what we shall see IF Obama is elected.

I don't believe it will be gradual. If he's to get anywhere with his agenda, disarming the peasants must come first. It will be swift, violent, and shocking. That what his national civilian security corps will be for. He knows the police, national guard, and our nation's military would not enforce his orders trampling the constitution. His brown shirt legions, however, would. Does the term "crystal nacht" mean anything to anybody out there? Fearless prediction: acting in the guise of unruly mobs, their first move will be to attack and destroy gun shops, sporting goods store, small arms manufactures, ammunition production facilities, and the homes of anyone holding an FFL.
