There are some groups, likely mercenaries, who would readily serve as Obama's brown shirts. For example the snipers and other shadowy paramilitary forces that were involved in the incident with the Nevada rancher. I believe these forces were sent by the Obama administration to deliberately provoke an armed confrontation which would have then been used to force through federal gun control.
If Obama as some of us fear might attempt to end elections and civil rights or in essence declare himself dictator, I would expect that the U.S. military would intervene to depose him
“.......I remain confident that the vast majority of our military would mutiny if given orders to round up or fire on US civilians.”...
As yourself why the war on the top military leaders of this country. The best way to kill a snake is to cut the head off. With no strong military leadership, those who are true patriots, and replacing them with “your” people, the task of taking control of the entire military is made much easier.
Training our armed forces to round up patriotic American citizens is NOT prudent.
It is deliberately designed to desensitizing the troops as well as the populace.
I worked with a young Guardsman 20 years ago who was being trained to bayonet Americans engaged in passive resistance-obviously they didn’t actually bayonet real people at that time.
But he stated he WOULD follow orders.
The schools have taught socialism and big government ,the judges have made a mockery of Constitutional guarantees.
Trusting the military and police to suddenly turn against a career of following orders is foolish.Certainly some will,but will enough? Did the German soldiers turn against their leaders in numbers sufficient to stop the horrrors? How often have the soldiers and police in any nation refused the orders of the authorities? How many police today engage in unconstitutional behavior and treat “civilians” with contempt ?How many officers routinely break many of the traffic laws and other rules they enforce against you or I? Once rule-breaking ,and looking the other way,becomes a habit then at what level of rule-breaking does it stop? When did you last hear of the outcry of the “good” officers against the abuses both physical and legal ? I have to sadly observe that the “good” officers are guilty of the same contempt and or fear of losing the paycheck and privileges so they do nothing. WHAT would it take for them to change?
The Founders rightfully feared standing armies.
Remember our military is disarmed except when on a mission. All the evil ones need do is secure the armory and what can the unarmed soldiers do when confined to barracks or base ? ONE muslim terrorist member of the Army murdered a dozen and injured more at Ft. Hood.What if he had a hundred co-conspirators?
Germany was a nation.too, fully modern with laws, churches, universities, newspapers, and radio.Not a nation of ignorant savages,but a nation conquered by its own minority of evil men.England punishes free speech and truth-telling this very day and law-abiding Englishmen had their means of resistance confiscated decades ago. Which reinforces the point that the ONLY reason for gun registration is eventual confiscation. Never think America hasn’t always had evil men desiring to lead a tyrannical government;keeping them from doing so requires more than waving a 220 year old piece of paper.It requires the will to use force to stop them.AND the MEANS of force which is most readily available in firearms. It is never truly good people who desire Americans disarmed;only the evil and the deluded.
