You work with @bbsam?A year ago my idiot leftist co-worker is making fun of everyone saying it's a "conspiracy theory" that the dems want to take our guns. Now it's happening and he refuses to talk about it. PUSILLANIMOUS
You’re leaving out half of that pledge. Would be interesting to see how they react if a national state of emergency is called.
Strong rebuttal from the Donald's. When you can't offer a legit argument, resort to insults.
Apparently sailfish and DIDO really are morons.
According to the UCMJ a soldier must only follow lawful orders. If the president orders gun confiscation, in theory, soldiers should disobey that order.
When Can a Soldier Disobey an Order?
The line is set at an order that is palpably (clearly) illegal. This puts soldiers in a dilemma because if their understanding of what should be considered clearly illegal is not supported by the courts, they still get punished, simply for doing what they think is right. This is one of many reasons I am opposed to a standing military. Soldiers must actually give up many of the constitutional protections they are defending. It's an irreconcilable contradiction, and I believe putting people in this type of situation, where the reason for overriding their sense of morality is not always clear cut, is a major contributor to ptsd.

The Posse Comitatus ActIf a 'soldier' is asked to marshall US citizens within the US, he/she is breaking the law.
Soldiers are to protect the USA from invaders/outside forces threatening the borders of the USA.
That is correct.The Posse Comitatus Act
Doesn't apply to National Guard though
One of the reasons I advocate against "serving". You put your neck on the line in some third world hole fighting some politicians' war for foreign interests under the bull facade of "defending freedom" for a society that hates you anyway and look at how you're treated in return.
"Thanks for your legs. Now piss off."

Realizing everything I do now I still can't believe that I once not only tried joining the Navy's BUD/S enlistment program when I was in high school but tried the Coast Guard too a few years later. I guess my piss poor eyesight can be a curse and a blessing. Boy was I naive then. Must've still been coming off the God & Country Koolaid.Also why I didn't re-enlist. At least that was how it was when I was serving. Now they've politicized "supporting" our troops. I guess it's better than before, but the best way to support our troops is to let them live their lives as free citizens who respond to real threats when necessary, not at the whim, and benefit, of a political ruling class. I would probably still be enlisted if it were in a well regulated militia, rather than a standing military.
They’ll have to send in the gosh darn army to take muh guns!
blue helmeted thugs.It won't be our Army. The government will veneer themselves from any liability and have a third party do the dirty work, namely UN troops.
Think about it.

I hope so, they’ll just run away when I shoot back.blue helmeted thugs.
probably speaking French
I used to think my life was a tragedy. But now, I realize IT'S A COMEDY.
So which one do you honor ... the Constitution and Law or an oath?The oath is to protect against enemies foreign and domestic.
