Anyone wonder if your military will fire on you?

That’s what I said. I always assumed our military would be on our side. I don’t any more.

I do not believe our military as a whole would act in an organized fashion against the people of the United States. If, as a hypothetical, the Army received an unlawful order from an anti-American communist who claimed to be Commander-in-Chief, the reaction would surprise the far left fringe (or maybe not and that is why the socialists are taking things comparatively slowly). For example, I do not believe any substantial portion of the military would aid and abet a systematic or widespread effort to infringe upon the right of the people to keep and bear arms. BATFE may disarm individuals, in some cases unlawfully, but the US Army and the United States Marines would be unreliable tools for that task.
