Karger sure is a beam of sunshine.

A significant part of the public is viscerally opposed to our troops being half way around the world, killing savages. How much more public outrage will arise if the US Military were at home, killing US citizens who don’t want to turn over their guns?

[Frank_2001]

We tried disarming the VC, the Iraqis and the Afghans-how’d that work out?

[2banana]

You really think US Marines will fire on US Citizens defending their Constitutional Rights?

I would be more worried about the person who GAVE that order to the Marines.

Fragging and ADs happen ALL the time..

:-)

[WKTimpco]

No.

[DarthVader]

Our military doesn’t do to well agasinst guerilla or assymetric warfare even with its technology advantage.

[Pox]

Those are the words of a coward, and I wholeheartedly disagree with most of his reasoning and assumptions.

"And where will that leave you except face down in a pool of your own blood [in] the middle of the street, just another dead fool patriot resisting the State?”

This is the actual way it will end up for just enough armed patriots to get it through the thick skulls of those who are sitting on their butts that it is time to stand up and fight for your freedoms and die like a man, if necessary, or live as a slave, and I continue to hold the belief that such a spark will finally awaken the Revolutionary spirit that dwells in the hearts of a very large portion of Americans.

"When They Come For Your Guns, You Will Turn Them Over"

If they come for them, it will be for a reason - and I guarantee you won't like it.

[smokingfrog]

It’s the ‘Neo-Cons’ that aren’t talking that you have to worry about.

[I see my hands]

True as can be.

[TheCause]

Speak for yourself.

I follow the words that Charlton Heston said before his famous “From my cold dead hands speech”
See video from beginning to 1:32

“Every time our country stands in the path of danger, an instinct seems to summon her finest first — those who truly understand her.
“When freedom shivers in the cold shadow of true peril, it's always the patriots who first hear the call.
“When loss of liberty is looming, as it is now, the siren sounds first in the hearts of freedom's vanguard. The smoke in the air of our Concord bridges and Pearl Harbors is always smelled first by the farmers, who come from their simple homes to find the fire, and fight, because they know that sacred stuff resides in that wooden stock and blued steel — something that gives the most common man the most uncommon of freedoms.
“When ordinary hands can possess such an extraordinary instrument, that symbolizes the full measure of human dignity and liberty. That's why those five words issue an irresistible call to us all, and we muster. So — so, as, ah, we set out this year to defeat the divisive forces that would take freedom away, I want to say those fighting words for everyone within the sound of my voice to hear and to heed — and especially for you, (Insert Tyrannical official): From my cold dead hands!”

[Secret Agent Man]

This makes the assumption said people are just going to be passively waiting around in their own homes. And that there will be guns to be turned over.

[Goldsborough]

This blurb seems written by a person who doesn't know even step one in conducting an effective insurrection.

Step One: Get a used concealable pistol in 9mm, 40S&W, or .45ACP in a face to face cash transaction and stash that "off the books" weapon where it won't be found by anyone else. Rule Number One: As a guerilla, NEVER engage the enemy in a stand up fight. . . .

[KitJ]

Those military and police ARE us. Despite the desires of the regime, the young Lance Corporal or Airman or Seaman or Soldier are from our neighborhoods. It will take much PSYOP for them to pull the trigger on their kin.

Won’t take too much to convince the senior officers though...

Drones, anyone?

Hmmm.

[Drango]

“Red Dawn” bump.

Remake coming in November.

[Ken H]

I say the police would turn tail and run at the first whiff of armed opposition.

They'd be just like those gun-wielding hoodies who piled up trying to get out of the jewelry store when an armed granny came after them.

[Secret Agent Man]

No, but there is the worry of foreign troops being brought in to “help” that would fire on US civilians.

[JDoutrider]

On that dark and bloody day, there will be many surprises...

Heaven forbid.
