Combine a hard left ideologue with the Chicago political mob and you get this. Never let a crisis go to waste.

FYI: “2009 Nobel Peace Prize nominee Jim Garrow shockingly claims he was told by a top military veteran that the Obama administration’s “litmus test” for new military leaders is whether or not they will obey an order to fire on U.S. citizens.”

Firearm’s registration has long been a requirement (since I was a kid) if you lived on post or on base, and if you shipped firearms overseas. It’s also required if you use on post facilities like a skeet range or take you guns to the Rod and Gun Club, or if you hunt on post. Soldiers living in the barracks have to keep their privately owned firearms in the arms room.

But, the military has generally been a very firearms friendly place. A conversation with the Commanding General is as likely to be about what shotgun to buy as it is about anything else. Of course, politics could easily change all of that and very quickly. I have never seen a requirement to register off post guns unless you want to bring them on the reservation, and that rule applies to family members as well. Captains sometimes get overzealous and that could certainly be the case here. An inquiry to the IG might be in order.

Well this will quickly sway the military into the ‘never disarm or shoot a civilian, even under orders’ camp.

A previous democrat administration attempted to know what the military and family were thinking:

I hope this is followed through and either found to be as reported OR found not to be applicable to off base family members and or military members who do not bring their personal weapon in base..

either way i hope you keep us informed
thank for this.

To the article writer:

Get a copy.

Redact the names to protect them.

Original poster:

See if you can get ahold of a copy; ask the holder to be sure to redact the names.

Post it here.

Then we will know if its an overeager commander or what.

Threads have been pulled lately......

If I get an email similar to this I will ignore it.

They fought, bled and died for our freedoms but now they will lose them anyway.
Personally I think all military personnel should wear a sidearm at all times, if they so choose.
Except when privilege lost due to misconduct.
How far would the Ft. Hood shooter have gone then?

If it were me I’d take a court martial and go public, loudly.

Another step in the leftists efforts to turn the military into another leftwing socialist plantation.

Simple: Transfer weapons from yourself (military member) to spouse/relative via bill of sale (depending on state living in). This is perfectly legal here in Arizona. If you live off base the military has no jurisdiction over your family but they do over you. Shortcircuit is to make sure you do not own the weapon legally. I would love to see a courts martial for a soldier who lived off base and whose spouse purchased a weapon for her use off base. I don’t think it would go anywhere. I have heard of military members being held accountable for their family’s behavior but these were all instances that happened on base, not off base. It’s true, as a veteran I can truly say that the military owns your ass while active duty. Not so with spouse/family if living off base.

“According to a report received from the wife of an active duty lieutenant (not pictured above) who is stationed in Indiana, the Army intends to register the firearms owned not only by servicemen and -women, but by their spouses and children as well . . .”

Why would anyone with an IQ above 20 believe this obvious disinformation? Buckwheat is trying to drive a wedge between patriots. It’s all lies and disinformation.

My sources tell me that the 2ndMarDiv has plans to move up I-95 next week and arrest obuma for treason.

Delay, obstruct, sabotage, go underground, as freedom fighters of past wars would do.
