Oh, stop with the martial law paranoia already.
Obama would need a loyal army equal to 90 million gun-owning Americans to pull that off. Every single federal bureaucracy and agency would also have to be on board with it. The two other co-equal branches of our government would have to be onboard with it. Every state and municipal law enforcement agency would have to be on board with it.
To top it all off, the American people would have to all willingly lay down their arms and surrender to a force that would be many, many orders of magnitude smaller than they collectively are.
There was a thread here the other night with a well crafted article addressing this very subject. The logic and reasoning were airtight. There will be no declaration of martial law, nor will the November elections be postponed by Obama.
Bottom line....he does not have the power to pull it off.
“Bottom line....he does not have the power to pull it off.”
Sure he does....and he’ll have lots of help doing it. Never let a crisis (manufactured or otherwise) go to waste.
