Not so nutty guys.. It has happened plenty in the history of past 'free' societies (relatively recently too) and there are many indicators pointing to it happening here.. Just needs the right timing and ingredients..
I just received this current article today. Check it out - if you doubt. It reinforces the likleyhood.
http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/military_domestic_use/2008/12/23/164765.html?s=al&promo_code=763E-1I also some time ago read a report on a study conducted by a War College student (in the 90's I think) that investigated the potential reactions of military personnel when they were ordered to disarm Americans. I recall he wanted to see if this would be a realistic order to issue to our own forces.. I don't think any of the readers on these forums would be happy with what he learned.
Just what kind of jobs do you think the thousands of Blackwater (and other) employees will get when they come home after we are done in Iraq?? Walmart Greeters?? - Don't think so...
And have some of you forgotten what happened in Louisiana to gun owners during and in the aftermath of Katrina?
I have many hats - none of them tin-foil // mostly fur and felt..
Maybe the rash and angry comments and insults from some readers of the forum is from their plain fear and difficulty dealing with something that is quite scary. I pray we never have to deal with it.. But if we do, I pray there are enough men and women left in this country that have the 'stuff' of our ancestors from two centuries ago.
