THIS is going to be controversial.
Ive seen a lot of rhetoric on here about police and military STEALING weapons, like after Katrina. Ive heard the question asked repeatedly of LE, and military guys..."Would you obey the order to STEAL weapons?". Mostly Ive heard garbled stuff about the constitution etc, with no really definitive answers, like "NO I will not steal the weapons of the citizens.". Considering what happened after Katrina I think that there is no question that the government, can and will STEAL weapons if it so suits them, and many if not most of those in one uniform or another will "follow orders'. So heres the question...
If your neighbor from 9 doors up the street calls and tells you the uniforms have just knocked his door in and stole HIS guns, and they are now next door doing the same, and they are headed toward YOUR HOUSE for the same purpose, to STEAL YOUR GUNS, what will you do. Will you fire on and kill men in American military uniforms, and your local police, or will you just let them steal your weapons? Are you willing to kill and more important,die, over this? Thats assuming that you have them where they can be found and theres no way you can secure them safely...Ie: if they knock in the door, they WILL find them and they WILL steal them.
Consider your answer carefully, because you may be faced with acting on it sooner than you think. Also consider that this forum is populated by a large % of uniforms, of one type or another.
Like I said, this one is controversial.
******Edited to add, that this is not an insult to those who do wear uniforms. Its just a valid question that each of us should have already asked ourselves. Unfortunately, I dont see a really good answer.
