Not every AD servicemember thinks that way. There's a lot of like minded people on my Flight (I'm AD AF) that wouldn't do something like that if tasked. Though the likelyhood of Airmen going door to door is slim to none

Not sure what I would do. But a line must be drawn somewhere! You know how much money that would cost the tax payer? Door to Door across the entire nation. Crazy

Well i can add a little something to cheer you up. When ever their holding an NCO board here a certain First Sargent always asks the soldier about the bill of rights and which right is the most important. If the soldier doesn't answer the 2A he gets his ass handed to him.

Door to door confiscation is too severe, it would jump start many people into resistance. They will simply ban certain categories of guns, eventually most will be voluntarily turned in. No one revolted in 1934, 1968, 1989, 1994, etc., so no one will revolt when they pass the next slight infringement.
What you have to do, is oppose every single restriction, no matter how minor. |

I know a reservist that thinks the same way.
When the rubber meets the road, very often the first guy in the door will be the first one to die. Eventually, after many streets and many houses, every one involved with the operation will have the opportunity to be the first one in the door. The tide will change when that guy decides that he doesn't want to be the next one to die. |

I am an RN at a military hospital in the Emergency Department. Last night, during a lull in triage, I was talking to a medic about guns, the 2nd amendment, and how Obama is destroying America. This is a great kid, a good medic, and a Springfield XD-45 owner. The conversation turned to confiscation and I asked him: "so, if your unit was suddenly tasked to confiscate guns from private citizens, would you comply? What would you do if the next house on your list was mine?". His reply: "well, it would be a lot like a house-to-house in Iraq, but we would get it done; when I got to your house, I would leave you some of your guns and just tell them this was all you had" –– clearly, by leaving me "some of my guns" he was thinking he was doing me a favor. I told him "bad news guy, if you bust in my door to take my guns at the behest of a confiscatory edict then you are going to get wounded at best". I told him that I am clearly not in shape to win against the US Army, and I can only hope that I would find the courage to resist, but likely it would get nasty". He smiled and said that I would get killed quickly against some Iraq campaign vets; I replied that I had hoped that if it came to that, I would be fighting against the government WITH those vets. I then tried to explain why it would be his duty to refuse such a task –– FOREIGN and DOMESTIC dude –– FOREIGN and DOMESTIC. ETA: grammar fix. This is the mindset of a vast majority of our service men, look at the Katrina video's, They were walking the streets and taking guns from neibourhoods the floods were no where near. I truely believe this was a test case for our said goverment. They will attempt this, mark my words. |

No disrespect to our Iraq vets who think like the one in the OP's post, but I wouldn't base your claim on success with door to door confiscation because you can breach terrorists houses/compounds. They're not the model of skill and dexterity.

I have to chuckle at the arrogance of such youth.
YES... the might of the US military would do a lot of damage to the US civi population if they were called upon to enforce such an edict. YES... the might of the armed US citizen would conversely do a lot of damage to those TRAITORS in the US military who blindly followed the orders of a rogue government. YES... many of those blind MURDERERS who CHOSE to follow illegal orders would find themselves confronting many current and former military people. When my country no longer holds to the document that it was formed under, it is no longer my country...

Absolutely right. There is far more reason to fear the 'piece at a time' approach than outright banning or confiscation. Also, I have no faith in the majority of LE and the military to refuse to follow orders if the law and their superiors ordered confiscation. They are trained, and take oaths, to do what they are told by their officers. I'll bet most of them would obey. I'm NOT knocking LE and the military, I just realize what their job is. |
