Indeed. It would take turning the US military against US citizens.... even IF the US military would obey such an unlawful order.
And that would make Afghanistan look like an 11-year-old's birthday party.
Because, you see, Tom, Dick, Harry, and Ron all have different responses.
Tom will be easy.
Dick has his firearms hidden very well.
Harry has a bunker.
But RON, now RON, hes different. He will not wait for the battle to come to him. *HE* will choose the terms of HIS engagement with those who would confiscate.
Right on!
