I was once an Army Infantrymen so excuse me if I feel i'm allowed to talk a little shit about our military. At least 1/2 of the entire Army are as useless as tits on a bull, i'd wager that the rest of the branches are similar, except for the coast guard, they're completely worthless (sarcasm because everyone loves to shit on the coasties). If they were deployed within the US for some sort of police action, there'd be an average of about 28K per state. They'll need at least 10 times that to control california and texas, which will leave states in the middle pretty sparse on coverage. How many would actually be willing to follow their orders? How many would just go awol and work their way home to warn their family or friends or join militias who would surely be forming to resist? It would take too long, there'd be no element of surprise, and the casualties would be too excessive, I think at least. Granted I sit in my shop and paint shit all day, the only people I ever talk to are very like minded, and the only opposing ideas I ever hear are those online, and I just scroll past them.
Mathmatically, a forced confiscation doesn't work. There would be a bunch of other steps before they go door to door. Ask any of the officers that frequent the site whether they would go door to door doing confiscation?
I truly think, if confiscation is going to occur, it would be done by a foreign force, that was invited to do so in the US. Why a foreign force? Because they wouldn't give a fuck about us, and wouldn't hesitate to execute anyone who resisted. Unfortunately, if it happens, i'm likely to be too old to do shit about it, and i'm going to have to rely on my grand kids generation to do something about it (i'm 43).
