I have seen a lot of posts on here about entering Washington,DC armed. It is still illegal there you know.

Let me explain from personal experience something that all need to keep in mind.

There is a very good reason that Washington has never been made a state. I has nothing to do with politics. There is something called the Military District Of Washington. Not being a state that pesky little law that says the military cannot be deployed for domestic actions doesn't apply there.

I was at the Marine Barracks in Washington in the early 1960's. We and the other military units stationed in and around there were deployed several times to confront the general population.

I personally have stood in a wall of Marines with fixed bayonets pointed directly at the chests of people on the streets of Washington, DC. Our orders were that no one, absolutely no one would be allowed to cross our line. The orders were lawful and you better believe that no one did. In one instance a guy with a badge on his jacket walked directly up to the tip of the bayonet of the guy to my right, pulled his badge forward and said, "Press, Press". He got himself poked in the chest with a bayonet and had some size 12 Marine Corps dress shoes with cleats on them raked down one of his shins. He backed off rather quickly.

Also don't forget when Roosevelt sent the Army into a tent camp of WW 1 military veterans that were camped in Washington to protest the cutting of their benefits. In that case rifles and machine guns were fired at the veterans and quite a few were killed or wounded.

I just want y'all to think for a minute or two about what you are saying. The Messiah would not hesitate for one second to deploy the military to remove any threat to his kingdom.

No we’re not going to go armed. That’d be nutz.
