Most will die of excess calories, first, just like most Americans that make it past 25.

The police aren't on your side
The military isn't on your side

They are tools of the State and will be used to enforce the State's rule as the State sees fit.

If they are ordered to fire upon you, many will happily follow the order. Those that don't will be replaced.

Do you personally know a lot of members of LE/MIL?

I worked with a fair number of former mil in my past life. They weren't all good people and they certainly weren't all conservatives. Most just wanted to take the path of least resistance through their day and would do whatever was easiest and of the greatest personal benefit. One was an actual Dem activist in his off hours. Another guy made it no secret that he thought Americans had no right to own "military-grade" weapons and that he thought they should be banned and confiscated by force. On the flip side of the coin, there was a guy that wanted to roll armor on the CHAZ.

All in all, I don't think it would have taken too much prodding to get a majority of them to go along with rounding up "Far-Right Domestic Terrorists"...History has shown it's not really that difficult to get people on board with doing horrific shit to the "other" tribe.

As to LE...When all the ban legislation was going on down here a few months ago, many of the cops I talked to said "I'll get to keep my stuff, so I don't really care" and when asked if they'd enforce it, they said "If the Chief/Sheriff wants it enforced..." The dudes that were universally on the side of "Naw, that's bullshit, don't turn in or register anything" were the FBI.

But hey, I've been wrong before...Let's hope we don't get to find out for real.

There’s some really stupid shit in this debate and the continual trash on ARFCOM often reminds me of it.

Stupid people are stupid people no matter what and the unarguable assumptions made about the military by those with zero connections to it are proof.

I'd never suggest they are all good and I know for certain not all of them are conservatives. I was simply addressing your statement that many will happily shoot regular folks if ordered. Military people "tend" to be one of the few groups who understand they oath they take and it actually means something to them.

Combat vets in particular, who typically view their experiences under fire as being done in "defense of the country and the constitution" are probably the least likely to voluntarily betray that oath.
