When They Come For Your Guns, You Will Turn Them Over
August 13, 2012
By Jim Karger
When they come for my gun, they will have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands, is a common refrain I often hear from the Neo-Cons when there is a threat, credible or otherwise, that the US government is going to take their firearms.
And, when I hear this crazy talk, I agree with them openly. You are right. They will pry your gun from your cold dead hands, which I often follow with the question, And where will that leave you except face down in a pool of your own blood [in] the middle of the street, just another dead fool resisting the State?
This is not a question they are comfortable with, if only because the intent of their saber-rattling was to imply they would fight to keep their weapons, and win.
Nice fantasy. Its not happening.
If the federal government decides to disarm the public, and when the increasingly-militarized rolls down your street after a not-so-subtle request that you kindly turn over your firearms and ammunition for the common good, it will be nothing less than suicide by cop to do anything other than what you are told.
The militarization of US police forces is ongoing and escalating. Many cities and towns now own tanks, armed personnel carriers, even attack helicopters, and almost all are outfitted with military weapons not available to the general public.
And, it is not just your hometown cops who are getting new boy-toys. The military itself is buying up weaponry not just for use in the current or next scheduled war, but to deal with the likes of you, citizens who dont seem to understand that the Bill of Rights has been overruled, and that specifically includes, but is not limited to, the right to protest and engage in civil disobedience.
Also ignored (as if it didnt even exist) is the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 which generally bars the military from law enforcement activities within the United States.
According to Public Intelligence:
for the last two years, the Presidents Budget Submissions for the Department of Defense have included purchases of a significant amount of combat equipment, including armored vehicles, helicopters and even artillery, under an obscure section of the FY2008 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the purposes of homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities. Items purchased under the section include combat vehicles, tanks, helicopters, artillery, mortar systems, missiles, small arms and communications equipment. Justifications for the budget items indicate that many of the purchases are part of routine resupply and maintenance, yet in each case the procurement is cited as being necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities under section 1815 of the FY 2008 NDAA.
And, they are not just arming cops and weekend warriors for domestic purposes. Active duty Marines are now being trained for law enforcement operations all over the world (of which the US remains a part) specifically to deal with civil uprisings, and the US government knows that civil uprisings are coming to a town near you just as soon as the fantasy of a healing economy is shattered, the US dollar fails, and unemployment goes to 30%+ in real numbers.
And, to you tough-talking Neo-Cons with your AR-15 rifles and a few thousand rounds of ammo, here is the reality: they will take your guns, and no, all your Second Amendment bluster aside, you are not going to do anything about it. You are not going to take on a platoon of Marines with state-of-the-art automatic weapons and the best body armor you cannot buy protected by armed personnel carriers and attack helicopters unless you choose to die that day for nothing. You will either be in the country or out, and if you are in, you will stay in and you will comply.
That is your choice
for the moment.
That’s awesome! I”m FBing that one now.
I’ll bet she could chase most pests off the property with that AR. Deadlier than most men at medium to long distances.
Are they wearing safety glasses?
Nice synopsis of the real topic Rob
Thanks

I think you mis-read my post. My point is that the young men will not want to attack fellow Americans, but some select senior officers might not be so reluctant (for the points you made)

“...In other words, “this is a really bad idea”....”
If it wasn’t, they’d already be on it. They’re wicked and evil, but they aren’t stupid.
There’s a song title that comes to mind:
“If You Want Blood...You Got It.”
“...If you think you’re anonymous on this site, you’ve not been paying a lot of attention to modern technology...”
I have no illusions whatsoever, friend. None.
I am so in agreement.
There was enough of them to slaughter people, and create horror and misery. Effing savages...the thought of helpless people being massacred just enrages me.
One of the crowning moments of the early war was when Czech Patriots exterminated Reinhardt Heydrich. Beautiful moment of retribution. They wasted that jackbooted thug SOB right in broad daylight.
And then Hitler showed what government retribution is REALLY capable of by erasing the town of Lidice off the map.
Good that you know your history, brother...wish more people did.
436 is brilliance.
“...someone who really, really understood...”
Sitting in a communist prison camp tends to bring things into stark, crystal clear clarity...
The evil thing about all this is that the other side sees THAT as a viable solution to dealing with dissent.
But the same idea works better, I think, in contemporary color.
I wish I could put these and many more onto billboards across the nation.
I think girls have a slight advantage in precision shooting, particularly with low recoiling guns.
When defending their family, they can be pretty tough.
I would not want to be downrange, ducking and weaving.
Actually, what the other side sees as a viable solution to dissent is to send the dissenters to the ovens ... and not as pastry chefs.
The “Other Side” will not use cattle cars. They will use big yellow school buses and the sheeple will compliantly board them just has the godless and socialist-entitlement K-12 government schools have trained them to do.
IIRC, the Makarov has a fix barrel over which the slide operates. If in deed they know an ‘after market’ barrel was on the weapon that killed this man, then they should have found the perp by now. I don’t believe ANYTHING which has Eric the racist commie Holder’s name attached to it, at any stage.
How many times must I post this picture until people realize that the military will simply follow orders?

The people running the federales now have as part of the agenda they serve the elimination of a significant percentage of the population, to make US more manageable. Starvation and disease will have swarmed the feral raiders, who will have been slaughtered like the rats they are, but who will also have picked up weaponry to use in their continued raids.
It is at that point that the devil's own soldiers against freedom will be welcomed into many neighborhoods, to pacify the scene. Comparing the scenario to a battle, the starvation and disease will be the artillery to soften up the objective.
There will still be many of US old farts who will not capitulate to the federales, and we will have had battle training against the horde, but the onslaught from the savages prior to the federales moving in will have softened up a very large percentage of the once brave patriots who want their family to survive in the face of chaos and disaster.
Personally, I'll fire until ammo is gone or they have a sniper take me out. I'm too old to live the remainder of my life under tyranny and ‘death panels’.
