Obama: We're working on gun control 'under the radar'

I have a relative who is in the Army. I told him that he needs to carefully consider what a lawful order is, because one day, he may be asked to fire on fellow Americans. I fully expect 50% of the LEs and 50% of the armed forces to have no compunction about firing on fellow Americans if ordered to do so.

I don't believe it, but what I do believe is your relative is brain dead.....

Wow, what an ignorant statement to make, even for you,Doofus, er, I mean, Doofer.

The question was not his belief, it was mine. The question was posed TO him by me, not BY him to me.

What part of that didn’t you get?

“Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians.”
-Alexander Hope, from the novel “Hope” by L. Neil Smith and Aaron Zelman

Arms are the only true badge of liberty. The possession of arms is the distinction of a free man from a slave.
-Andrew Fletcher, 1698

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
-Benjamin Franklin, 1759

Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense?
-Patrick Henry

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
-Thomas Jefferson

Sure, if he’s reelected he has nothing to lose. If you think his first term was a nightmare, wait until the second one. He’ll have no reason to hold off on anything.

Holder will be his point man at Justice to start the prosecutions.

To those in the military and law enforcement: Carefully consider the meaning of “a lawful order”; you may be ordered to fire on fellow Americans one day—and I don’t mean criminals and looters.

Choose wisely.

They’ll never tell the police to fire on innocent Americans, they’ll call you a “domestic terrorists” first.

They’ll never ban your scoped hunting rifle; they’ll call it a “sniper rifle” first.

They’ll never confiscate your firearms; they’ll call it an “arsenal” first.

They’ll never ban free speech; they’ll call it “hate speech” first.
