Yes, less freedoms, more government intrusion. Elections have consequences.

I'm not going to search all this as I thought the discussion was quite entertaining at work. Although, I did a quick search on his agency claim and came up with this. Make of it what you will...

• The Department of Veterans Affairs, which has 3,700 law-enforcement officers guarding and securing VA medical centers, spent $11.66 million. It spent more than $200,000 on night-vision equipment, $2.3 million for body armor, more than $2 million on guns, and $3.6 million for ammunition. The VA employed no officers with firearm authorization as recently as 1995.
• The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service spent $4.77 million purchasing shotguns, .308 caliber rifles, night-vision goggles, propane cannons, liquid explosives, pyro supplies, buckshot, LP gas cannons, drones, remote-control helicopters, thermal cameras, military waterproof thermal infrared scopes and more.
• The Environmental Protection Agency spent $3.1 million on guns, ammunition and military-style equipment. The EPA has put nearly $800 million since 2005 into its “Criminal Enforcement Division.”

Although, the French did declare martial law after the Paris attacks. They issued a curfew and confiscated all weapons. I could see the government doing this in individual cities under the same circumstances, but I don't think they'd ever have even a good bullshite reason for doing it nationwide.

Everyone should realize this is pure intimidation
The massive stockpiles of arms and ammo being built up by government agencies that have no real law enforcement role is something that's had me wondering about for some time now.
I'm not saying I believe we are a couple months from martial law. But at the same time, the government is doing things that are just not right.

This was always my response to the loons. IRS agents, VA cops, Postmaster cops, etc would be the last people I would think that would be who I would want manning the fight against the uprising. Those people would shite a brick and run away at the first sign of a fight.
Also, those number of bullets purchased were inflated as all hell back when I researched it. Probably has to do with the way the gov. procurement system works with them issuing RFQ's for a multi year contract. To make bidding fair, they would probably have listed a millions rounds a year for five years as the baseline, but there would be no commitment to buy all of that. It would just a baseline to compare bids and they may have used worst case scenerio.
Finally, these bullet purchases were all advertised on the webs via fed.biz.ops or whatever the site is. This lets the whole world know what they are buying.
I would think if the gov. wanted to arm up, they could very easily do it through back channels that nobody would know about.
AND the funny part of what happened, is due to the hysteria that was partly to blame on this issue, bullet sales and gun sales to the general public has sky rocketed. Win for the good guys.

No. I'm friends with many military/LE. They would have to enforce it, and most of the ones I know wouldn't under most circumstances. As the SOTD song goes, "Why don't presidents fight the wars, why do they always send the poor", the ultra powerful sometimes forget low middle class is who offers them protection, so in this information age it's doubtful they'd be able to get everyone on board.

the elites are pushing for one world control and either we will hand it over to them or they will push us to the point of fighting back at which time they will declare martial law and forcibly take it.

If "those people" did such a thing in a society with the number of armed civilians that we have in this country, "those people" would not last very long...at all.
