Of course they would. Do you really think US citizens are going to stand by and allow other US citizens to die while protecting their 2nd Amendment right.

Please look at countries with no right to protect themselves or remove tyranny with weapons and see how those people are treated by their gooberment.

Freedom is part of the American DNA. People immigrate here to be free from tyranny.

Absolutely. Would you want to live in a country where the government has more control over you than they already have. Not me. I would rather die trying to protect what few rights we still have

the crazy purple hair lefties that would be willing to round up guns would be too scared to cross over into a state that banned abortion. Blue states would have their guns confiscated

There's a lot more armed citizens than there are soldiers. If push came to shove, the citizens win that fight.

The best thing to do in this case is kill their bosses and their families wherever they might be. Then lets see who really wants to make it to retirement and who doesn't.

And don't go pearl clutching at this. This is what they would be willing to do at every stop on their confiscation tour. We don't have to be prey here.



amen to that...

Are we talking about the full-time military, the Guard/Reserves or both combined?

Many military members own personal firearms and are sworn to uphold the Constitution "against enemies both foreign and domestic". To attempt to go door-to-door blindly confiscating firearms is to directly violate their oaths (and many would simply refuse on such grounds).

But let's say enough followed such an illegal order, what then? There are somewhere near 400 million legally registered firearms in the US. The cumulative impact of forced confiscation would eventually force armed confrontations across the country. You wouldn't see it so much in large population centers (DC, NYC, LA, Chicago, etc) but attempting to do this in smaller towns like Bastrop, Delhi, Winnsboro, Livingston, etc. would end up being lots of Cliven Bundy-style standoffs. If the military were to go hard on them (mowing them down with Blackhawks or drones, for example), the political blowback would be insane. Even Twitter wouldn't be able to censor it all.

Yes.

As well they should. The soldiers orders are unconstitutional.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

Every gun law on the books is unconstitutional. Any gun law is an infringement. If the government wants to pass a gun law it should be done with an amendment.

Like they did with prohibition. But they know they could never get it approved by the states.

Such action would be IMMEDIATE cause for overthrow of the US Government. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Logistics, man power, the Constitution, and the fact that the US owns 51% of all private weapons that is known including trillions of rounds of ammo. Short of bombing houses which would be a declaration of war on the citizens. What are they going to do? Give a seizure order and risk alienating at least 3/4 of your forces who are gun owners themselves? Everyone knows that confiscation is not feasible. The military who would stay and actually try would get crushed. No sitting President even this retarded motherfricker would have the balls nor the stomach to declare war on gun owning citizens. The strategy of the left is to make owning a firearm so expensive that very few will be able to own them legally. It won't work though, but they will try .

I’m right there with you hoping that’s true, but a lot of just regular non antisemmetic German Wehrmacht soldiers probably thought the same thing in WWII until the ability to provide for their family was threatened. Call me a cynic but the best predictor of human behavior is past human behavior…and we don’t have a great track record

You think the military would fire on the citizens to take the guns?
