Sadly, this is the opinion of a lot of senior military

Which is why I personally question the reasoning that says, in the event of a blatant attempt at confiscation and usurpation of our 2nd Amendment rights, the military and police will refuse their orders. I just don't see it happening.

I agree with you 100% Some local police maybe if they personally know you may cut you some slack but some big inner city squad made up of strangers or some other states national guard would have no problem demonizing you. If you are a model citizen they will tell the officers a pack of lies and in their minds you would be no better than some crackhead on the streets.

I don't see it happening myself particularly if it is set up the right way.

Make it appear as if a militant group, be it on the right or left, has teamed up with a foreign govt or foreign terrorist to wage war against the US govt, and the military will indeed follow orders not only to disarm American citizens but also use as much force as necessary to do it.

Look at the terrorist attacks and you will see a pattern to this effect.

The one that is the easiest to recognize is the terrorist attack planned for NYC in 2010, the fertilizer car bomb.

Prior to the attempted attack the news media ran one story after another about how violent the TEA Party was and how they were a bunch of Tim McVeigh wannabees>

Following the attempted attack the left claimed the fact that it was a fertilizer bomb proved it was the TEA Party.

Every attack since 1993 has followed the same pattern.

It's straight from the Weather Underground playbook.

If the left is in power they use this as a way of gaining more power.

If the left is out of power they use this as a way to make the claim the govt is becoming a dictatorship.

I see it happening. Other than a few, most boys aren’t going to shoot at Mom or Dad. I have 2 nephews that would leave the military in a heartbeat to protect their families. Most soldiers are children of the Patriots, the libs don’t like the military, and don’t encourage their children to go. Only a few that have some kind of immediate gain to be made by siding with the politics of the current administration do this. And,only those very few that do are given time by the corrupt media.
