The sheriff said that recently there was a meeting of most of the Washington County sheriffs and this subject was brought up. He said that all of the Washington sheriffs would stand-down. This was something that they would not comply.
Also, he said the the earlier assault weapons legislation made no difference in the incident of weapon's crime.
Now the question is, will the military stand-down or will the military go against the citizens or obey and honor the oath that they take? The same oath that I took so long ago and the same oath that the President and elected official take and are supposed to uphold.
It appears that most of us will keep the oath we took(1967 for me). As for hussein and a lot of the clowns, they had their fingers crossed behind their backs.

Sorry about the source, but this is what Gen. McChrystal said recently:
Former Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who led the war in Afghanistan, endorsed strong gun control laws Tuesday on Morning Joe.
“I spent a career carrying typically either an M16 or an M4 Carbine. An M4 Carbine fires a .223 caliber round which is 5.56 mm at about 3000 feet per second. When it hits a human body, the effects are devastating. It’s designed for that,” McChrystal explained. “That’s what our soldiers ought to carry. I personally don’t think there’s any need for that kind of weaponry on the streets and particularly around the schools in America.”
So, that’s the leadership. I have no idea whether the ground troops would participate or not. I will say that gun owners will be demonized first. The order won’t be “go get that lawful gun owner’s gun”, it will be “go get that domestic terrorist’s gun”. There is also the mob mentality you have to consider. If you had asked the police officers who confiscated guns in N.O. after Katrina beforehand if they would confiscate guns, I bet they would have said “no”. Somehow, though, they were able to justify it to themselves to the point of beating up an old lady.
