Re: More realistic "take your gun" question...
I say fight. I will defend myself. That is the time when you will most likely need a firearm.

You are mostly correct ~ that is why I am asking it now.I think if it reaches the point that there are actually 'gun gestapo' going house to house confiscating, it's already too late
Yup. Those bureaucrats were the Mayor, Police Commissioner and the Chief of police.It seems to me that a bureaucrat decided to call something illegal that wasn't.
Then solve the problem by focusing on the law abiding.
truer words have not been spoken .. :2cents:I believe the biggest problem facing our country is the lack of self rellance of the majority of the population. I see it all too frequently at work, especially for a smaller rural city. People want us/the city/the government to do everything for them. I am over exaggerating a little but there are not enough people anymore that take responsibilty for their actions, safety, well being, etc
I think what we are discussing is what if those orders are in direct conflict with the US Constitution?I will put it back to those of you that were military. If the Government declares "Marshal Law" and move the military in to assist local Law Enforcement to uphold the law, do you think you would be in a position to pick and choose the laws you would enforce, or would you follow your lawfully given orders like your training and OATH have taught you too?
US Military Oath of enlistment said:I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
