U.S. Army veteran Mike Durant, the current frontrunner in Alabama’s U.S. Senate Republican primary race, once suggested applying military philosophy to restore “law and order” in some U.S. cities by disarming the population.
In 2011, Durant discussed the violence initiated by United Nations forces going door to door to seize firearms in a speech before the U.S. Army War College.
As an aside, he speculated about how doing that in “some of our U.S. cities” could be a means to achieving “law and order.”
“[F]rom a military perspective, the first thing that needs to be done is disarm the population,” he said. “Let’s face it, if we could do that in some of our U.S. cities, that would be a pretty good step toward law and order. But you ever ask yourself, why don’t we do it here? Because it’s hard. It can result in rioting and widespread rebellion and you know, making the situation worse than it already is. But for some reason, we sort of hand-wave all that kind of stuff and g0 head and hand all those missions down to our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. And that’s what happens here.”

The reason we know seizing guns would be good for law and order in US cities, is because those cities are already gun-free zones, and already have the crime rates of third world s-holes.
That didn’t turn out so well in Mogadishu, did it Mike?
What is with pukes like dan krenshaw and now U.S. Army veteran Mike Durant who served for our freedoms, but now take it upon themselves to deny us our freedoms and rights?
piss off durant!
Including your bodyguard,Mike?
So is this guy a Deep State plant, or simply a clueless opportunist?
Might as well require that everyone take soma while they are at it.
In the cause of “law and order” of course.
“Disarming is a good step toward law and order...’ only that ‘disarming will result in rioting and widespread rebellion and you know, making the situation worse than it already is.’
He contradicts himself in under 1 paragraph! Doesn’t sound too bright to me!
Adios Mikey.
No idea. But, why not both?
Astonishing isn’t it.
Durant is a Romney style republican. The question is why do so many here on FR consider him to be a better choice?

i just hope the majority of our military aren’t made up of anti-constitution tyrants like durnant and krenshaw-
Disarming and arresting the CRIMINALS
The general population is not the problem
AND theres no constitutional authority to disarm the population
Go into Democrat controlled city. Take away the guns. The criminal element will just go out and get more guns. Those who are law abiding will be unable to protect themselves. The re-armed criminals will be empowered to completely take over.
There is not a politician in DC who would not be elated should the citizenry be disarmed.
Nyet, Mikhail!

Cordoning off the inner cities would be good. No need to disarm them, just let nature take charge.
What an idiot and traitor
What an idiot.
