Saw this quote someone posted today on the Hot Air article on the same topic: “Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA – ordinary citizens don’t need guns, as their having guns doesn’t serve the State” Heinrich Himmler

PackerBhoy: I was about to post that MYSELF until you beat me to it!

Hey, everyone, have you seen THIS? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/9309372/War-in-the-White-House-attorney-general-Eric-Holder-and-top-Obama-adviser-David-Axelrod-had-to-be-separated.html Personally, I say, LET the two of them go at it! Hey, let them even fight a duel, a la Hamilton/Burr, if they want! Because no matter WHICH one lost, AMERICA wins!

Marc_H: I agree with you that there WILL be some low-lifes who WOULD agree to do the kind of dirtywork that we've been discussing. But it's one thing for that Chicago cop, and those like him, to do the kind of dirtywork in their OWN redoubts where the people are USED to , and indeed acquiescent to, such dirtywork. It's quite ANOTHER thing to send that Chicago cop and those like him to places where they and their dirtywork will NOT be welcome. If that Chicago cop tried pulling his crap in Maricopa County, AZ over the wishes of the residents, he stands a good chance of being buried in the desert.

Jerry1: The big question now is, how gracefully do these people intend to bow out of the game? Do they bow out with dignity - or do they decide, like Hitler decided when it became undeniable to him that the Third Reich was NOT going to win WW2, that if they can't have what they want, they're going to try to take everything and everyone down WITH them in a scorched-earth Gotterdammerung?

Marc_H, anderson659: I see a silver lining in this for conservatives - the exact same silver lining I see in the continual dissing Obama and the Democratic Party engage in towards our men and women in the armed forces. In all of our many "Reichstag fire" discussions, since I have often stated that every Obama/Democratic Party diss of our men and women in uniform is just that much MORE insurance that if the Marxists in DC try to order our people in the military to turn their weapons upon the American citizens they will be met by a resolute "GO TO HELL!" from those in the military, in just the same way, incidents like this only ensure that the vast majority of local law-enforcement personnel will tell the Marxists in DC the same thing.

hossenheimer: I think you're right on the money here. Conservative-dominated enclaves would be FAR more likely to be able to weather such a cataclysm as this than liberal-dominated ones. Especially since among conservatives, there's far more of a neighborly approach to dealing with common problems, so the citizenry of conservative enclaves would, I believe, come together to help each other get through it. LIBERALS, on the other hand, have no sense of brotherhood even toward EACH OTHER, so as you indicate, THEY'D be at each other's throats in VERY short order.

NoBarry: You replied to me, "The military won't turn on America but a civil war my become the product of the hussein regime, so be it!" Without the military/National Guard/civilian law-enforcement backing Obama in a putsch, I join the consensus of opinion among conservatives on this site that any civil war between left and right would end fairly quickly - and NOT in the favor of the left. WHO does Obama have to FIGHT for him who will be committed enough to him to CONTINUE the fight once they start seeing their comrades' corpses littering the places of their encounters with conservatives? The only "warriors" Obama MIGHT have would be among the inner-city gangstas - and I'm betting even THEY don't think enough of Obama to DIE for him.

rmt5: And of course, Obama is FURTHER hampered by the fact that since he's become president, more Americans than EVER have become actively involved with the 2nd Amendment by either becoming BETTER armed or in many cases (as is the case with ME) becoming armed for the very first time in their lives. If Obama thought he'd have faced opposition to his Hitler-like dreams early on in his presidency, with the explosion in gun and ammo sales all throughout his presidency, that opposition has become EXPONENTIALLY more formidable.
