I would imagine most vets would tell you that when they are taking incoming fire they were not thinking about protecting the constitution but protecting their friends. It will be nothing different when the Clown in Chief says that the Right Wing Resistance is the enemy of the USSA.

I hope I would have the balls to stand up to what I believe in if confiscations ever happen. I do not, on the other hand, want to trade fire when my family is in the same house as me. What if scenario's are shitty. I don't know what I would do until it actually happens.

well consider that few people ever set out to kill or get into a gunfight, it just sorta happens as a result of escalation, i doubt for example that swat teams are eager to kill by default, i'd say they are more hoping the show of force induces surrendur.
but take dynamic entry, especially if its a suprise to the occupants of the targeted structure, all of a sudden there are booms and crashes and yelling and armed men, no time to actually be rational. the sudden entry causes a fight or flight response, and failure to submit in a blink of an eye induces the same response in entry members. it just sorta happens, it evolves and escalates. But dont worry, there will be no monolithic confiscation even if there is a total ban. just make everyone felons and you end legal gun ownership and/or create new criminals to feed the prison industrial complex 
its a simple matter to criminalize opposition in the culture war and stigmatize their ways, then let a few generations run their course. |

You don't. I sure hope your plans are a little more though tout then that. Have you ever heard of death squads. Do you really think fighting them from your doorstep is the solution. How about hitting them when they go home? You should read Sun Tzu. Just don't cause an incident until the line has really been crossed by the death squads. Trust is needed to preserve our way of life so we must give the benefit of doubt to the government and they must do the same. Otherwise the whole thing crumbles.

Most communities aren't anywhere near as goofy as New Orleans and most Police Forces are a sight more professional than New Orleans backed up by National Guardsmen and turning on the law abiding citizens isn't the general order of the day in a catastrophy, that's all I am going to say. |

Ill post what I did in the other thread
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
We get this rammed into our heads every day in ROTC and Im sure the men and women at the service academies get just as much. If even 10% of Officers and Warrant Officers refused to obey an unlawful order, the Army would not be able to function. I cant speak for police officers, but the majority of Army Officers and NCOs will not carry out or give unconstitutional orders. |

I could see a huge problem with some police officer wanting to confiscate his firearm. After all what does the 2nd Amendment mean? You can only own guns until the local dictator says you can't.

There is not yet going to be confiscation. Just could not happen.
First, do the libs want confiscation? Yes. Do they know they could not get it done? Yes. The plan is not confiscation. It is to marginalize the number of people who own firearms by demonization and ever increasing regulation (notice the use of the word "infringe" in the Constitution––the founders knew the government could never confiscate weapons as long as the citizens had free access to own them). Once they have the number of firearm owners down to a fringe element, and they have convinced the vast majority that ownership is dangerous, then they can confiscate; and by then, yes the law enforcement community and military will be on board with it. If we get government healtcare, you can expect that handgun regulations will be coming to reduce healtcare costs by reducing handgun victims. Count on it! |

The fact is that the actions of one local police chief, with a nutball mayor in charge, in ONE city... Does not indicate a FEDERAL plan to round up guns... Note that in the REST of the areas that Katrina hit (it hit 2 whole STATES, mind you - multiple cities) there was NO gun confiscation... And in the aftermath, the legal process has worked just fine - NOLA got sued, and the state of LA changed the law to ban future taking of guns.... Also note that as this was the action of a LOCAL government, the anti-federalists should be on board with it... After all, 'states rights' and all...

Taking a step beyond that, ANYONE the police have to deal with are automatically listed in their minds as 'The Perp' and classified as scum, so if/when the police are ordered to confiscate, they will immediately view any gun owner as a criminal scumbag who is probably selling crystal meth and looking at child porn while stroking his guns, which will make them a lot easier to shoot. |

Ive been in the NG for almost 9 years in an Infantry unit. I can tell you with confidence that there is a large number that would not partake in a confiscation for 2 reasons. First and foremost we have a strong beleif in the second amendment. The other reason is, safety. I would rather go back to the sandbox than to go door to door confiscating Oklahomans guns, because the majority would fight back.
My grandpa is around 80 and a WW2 vet and he would go down in a blaze of glory if you know what i mean. If the public protest the war in Iraq because of soldier deaths then there is no way they would support a confiscation here in the USA, because the casualties would be far more than any war before except for maybe the cival war. There is not gonna be a confiscation anyway. Its going to continue the way its been for the last 70 years and the man will slowly impose more small gun laws, registrations, ammo import bans, ammo taxes and so on. Only people like us will see it coming. Most people will wake up in about 50 or 60 years and ask, " where did our guns go?". It will be what i call the 100 year confiscation. |

The NG is NOT the militia. We really don't want to go there, do we? Actually, I do and will According the the Constitution, the 'militia' is federally funded & equipped, trained to federal standards, and state administered. It's right there in Article 1 Sec 8. The National Guard fits the Constitutional definition of MILITIA to a "T'... Article 1 Section 8, US Constitution: Congress shall have the power.... To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions; To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress; To provide for organizing, arming -> Federally funded disciplining -> Trained to federal standards (See 'discipline' of the armed forces elsewhere in Art1 Sec8) and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States -> see above 'to provide for calling forth' provision' as to why this would ocurr reserving to the states respectively, the Appointment of the Officers -> States commission militia officers. This applies to NG officers today And the authority for training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress -> The UCMJ & US Army FMs are 'the discipline perscribed by Congress'. States are responsible for executing the training of their NG troops, according to these items. You see, the National Guard IS the modern incarnation of the Constitutional militia... |

Gun confiscation ?
Would you like to hear from someone who has been throught it? Voted for by the masses. 
Handguns and semi-auto full bore rifles banned here then confiscated. We were a minority and withstanding civil unrest and armed conflict we had to hand our guns in. As we were already "registered" ( guys, registration IS the first step to confiscation remember that ) Every gun needed to be collected was know and where it was....collection was easy as we shooters are normaly law abiding
In my heart I know that most of you guys would comply too...even you chest beaters....you know who you are. 
Here the Newspapers drove the new draconian laws IMHO Now only the criminals have guns...since the ban of pistols and semi-auto rifles gun crime has risen 30%.....
