I don’t worry about the military. A whole lot of them will be REAL hesitant to shoot someone with mom and dad’s face. I’ve had conversations with a few soldiers who would be on the enforcement level.They will turn on those who command them to attack their own people. Not all of them, I’m sure, but by far the biggest majority. The flaming liberals who want gun confiscation so badly don’t encourage their children to join the military. They dislike the military as bad as they do us gun owners.
Simple, if it comes to confiscation, lie, hide, booby trap, ambush and then fight to the death. I’d imagine that Washington’s men worried less than we do, and had a much slimmer chance of prevailing. But prevail they did. I just re-read Colonel Travis’s letter from the Alamo,(I’m a Texan) We ought to not let men like that down now, they gave it all.And who would want to live here if the communists succeeded in confiscating all our weapons? At that point we will have lost ALL of our rights.
In three years, there will be a large turnover in the military. It will be filled with the ranks of gays and Obama voters.
“At that point we will have lost ALL our rights.”
I am in agreement with this not being anywhere I would want to live. If/when gun confiscation occurs I do think a form of mandatory ‘buy back’ program will occur first. Then huge penalties and finally will come confiscation. I’m not sure about the new enlistment roles, Aim High, but I am sure the younger generation is not prepared to disobey orders the way we would.
This is not a function that the military can (legally) do... posse comatatus — however it’s spelled — prevents the military from law enforcement ops on US soil.... as I understand it.
I am aware of this law. I am also of the opinion that if the 2nd amendment can be overthrown/ignored, then there is no lesser law safe against these evil people and/or useful idiots.
You are potentially quite right -- in just a few years, Oliver Cromwell built an army from the ground up called the New Model Army, and that army not only fought King Charles I, but defeated him -- and then executed him.
Cromwell's men were religiously motivated. Obama's "New America" army would be just as motivated -- by hatred of Whitey, of straights, of "bitter clingers" who don't want to pay "their fair share". Never doubt the power of ruthless men to flog their orcs forward.
Tell that to Abraham Lincoln, who used precisely that power to come for the rights of the South. He used that very power to take a seat by force at Jefferson Davis's desk and put Atlanta and Charleston to the torch. And very self-righteously, too.
Thank you.
I have a good friend...that is Greek and a hunter. Loves guns....and he tells me...your spelling of MOLON LAVE is correct.....not MOLON LABE...as I have used and seen many times.
FWIW-
Thanks. I think it's good to look at the scoreboard once in a while and remember that we've put points on it. A lot of points.
MOLON LAVE!
I wasn't entirely sure of the spelling. I thought it might be a case of either spelling being acceptable. I saw that version in more graphics and I had a hunch that might be the true Greek spelling.
“-—one out of two—”? Well that would be a step backward for my neighborhood but what the heck.. We’ll wait for the rest of the country to catch up and in the meantime we’ll pump up the average.
Here's what he wrote me.
He write is LATIN ( molon lave) Is GREEK
Makes sense....both are correct. My friend is a hoot...lives on Corfu. Big outdoorsman...Loves to shoot.
FRegards,
When he’s having a normal conversation with someone does it look and sound like he’s mad and fists might fly any moment? lol
Ha!!
I suggested to the gf that I had better stick around and make sure she would be alright. She broke out laughing "naw, those guys are friends. They come in here every day. That's how they talk, they're Greek." International education to me. If you heard two Americans having a 'conversation' like that I guarantee you'd have 911 on speed dial and your eye out for cover. lol
Harry Reid is OLD, O-L-D. I don't think he's going to try for the Senator Sheets Byrd Rat award.
