Ask the supporters of The One why it is that virtually every single police department in the country has full autos, plus many (up to thousands, in the larger forces) of the same semi-autos that they seek to ban from ownership by average citizens. After all, such weapons have as their only purpose the “killing of large numbers of people.” Who are those all for, pray tell?
Yeah, so we REALLY need a force of 250,000 or 500,000 brainwashed youts with full autos, doing the bidding of Der F..., uh, The One. Sure. What’s THAT for? To sweep away any resistance from local PDs? To simply burn out, intimidate, kill, etc. any citizens with firearms that they don’t wish to turn in? What’s it for, what’s its purpose? Does Obama expect the Russians and Chinese to invade without the armed forces noticing, so that we need a large force to re-enact Red Dawn?
You know, it is easy for anyone to say that you, I or most of the people on this thread are habitual wearer of aluminum foil beanies. Very easy. After all, nothing like that has ever happened. Not here, anyway. But it HAS happened elsewhere. Yeah, using Nazi Germany as an example isn’t likely to win anyone any debating points (there’s that unwritten rule that the first person to mention the words “Nazi” or “Hitler” loses the argument), but the fact is that those events occurred, power was seized by force from a scared or otherwise compliant population that was largely unarmed (and if they were, the local police knew exactly what was owned and by whom). Simply put, the various measures proposed by The One are, in their totality, quite worrisome. Combined with his background of hanging around uber-lefties and outright revolutionaries, it causes hairs to stand on end, and threads like this one to proliferate.
I have yet to meet one of his supporters that has the brain power to digest the points you make- though they are good ones.
There are few supporters of O in my immediate area- they are welfare druggies that are counting on him to legalize all drugs and the “OMG not more cops” is what works with them.
Just last week I had fun telling two of them about Obama’s security force. It was fun.
