#2 happened in New Orleans during the Katrina aftermath. There's an infamous video of the police at an old woman's door. They're shown beating her down and taking her revolver.
Do you still think it can't happen in America?
It did!
The Guard entered my New Orleans house as well as every house in the city after Katrina and they took nothing.
This kind of thing happens on a local level all the time I'm sure. What I'm talking about is the idea that Obama is going to send the JBT's into the streets to kick in doors and confiscate guns across America. OBuckwheat isn't going to do us the favor by comitting on overt atrocity to galvanize the country against him. Everything he does is going to have just enough air of legitimacy to make sure that nobody will do anything. I wasn't trying to be derisive. Nobody wants to do the hard hard and inglorious labor of attending rallies, PTA meetings, city council meetings etc.
