I talk to a lot of folks with a libertarian bent, many are distrustful of the industrial-military complex in general and the Army in specific. I reassure them of my strong belief that, if push comes to shove, the military will fall on the side of the Constitution.

Then, some bootlicking field grade asshole publishes an article advocating gun confiscation, astronomical ammo taxes, and a communist-type takeover of the firearms industry.  I'm sure his Dear Leader, Obama, is quite proud of him.  If Hillary is the next president, this flaming fucktard will probably be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

It's Time to Talk about Guns and the Supreme Court

An excerpt:
1. The only guns permitted will be the following:

   a. Smoothbore or Rifled muzzle-loading blackpowder muskets. No 7-11 in history has ever been held up with one of these.
   b. Double-barrel breech-loading shotguns. Hunting with these is valid.
   c. Bolt-action rifles with a magazine capacity no greater than five rounds. Like I said, hunting is valid. But if you cannot bring down a defenseless deer in under five rounds, then you have no fking reason to be holding a killing tool in the first place.

2. We will pry your gun from your cold, dead, fingers. That is because I am willing to wait until you die, hopefully of natural causes. Guns, except for the three approved categories, cannot be inherited. When you die your weapons must be turned into the local police department, which will then destroy them. (Weapons of historical significance will be de-milled, but may be preserved.)

3. Police departments are no longer allowed to sell or auction weapons used in crimes after the cases have been closed. (That will piss off some cops, since they really need this money. But you know what they need more? Less violence and death. By continuing the process of weapon recirculation, they are only making their jobs -- or the jobs of some other cops -- harder.)

4. We will submit a new tax on ammunition. In the first two years it will be 400 percent of the current retail cost of that type of ammunition. (Exemptions for the ammo used by the approved weapons.) Thereafter it will increase by 20 percent per year.

5. We will initiate a nationwide "buy-back" program, effective immediately, with the payouts coming from the DoD budget. This buy-back program will start purchasing weapons at 200 percent of their face value the first year, 150 percent the second year, 100 percent the third year. Thereafter there will be a 10 year pause, at which point the guns can be sold to the government at 10 percent of their value for the next 50 years.

6. The major gun manufactures of the United States, less those who create weapons for the federal government and the armed forces, will be bought out by the United States of America, for our own damned good.

Most FG officers would force their entire units into barracks lockdown 24/7 with no booze, cars, guns, civilian clothes, or women if they could get away with it.

Why does it surprise you that they think even less of civilians rights?

It happened before New Orleans. 3 Generals held in high regard were involved after WW1. Only one was a General.at the time.
Supposedly, there was more than 2 deaths, but the history is very murky regarding this travesty.

Gotcha. That's what I figured. Well then sounds like an OK issue, not a US Army issue. If that order had come from the army, the 82nd would have been doing it.

Part of the reason the 2nd exists is because the founders knew standing armies are dangerous. This LTC demonstrates that fear.

No they are not army units, they're army national guard. They're called upon to support Army operations when needed, but are assigned to a state and given orders by its governor AFAIK. They sure do swear the same oath (I think).

There are plenty of adequate police analogies you could use, but I see you're stuck on broad brush.

So one handful of fucks from a unit of borrowed part time army national guard people (maybe) confiscated some weapons once in the last how many years and now the 500k active duty US army soldiers are oath breaking nazis.
