I can't see it either
True, but I'd like to err on the side of being more so than less. Know what I mean?
What scares me is that the other side will be ready.
Agreed, but their resources are virtually limitless, and mine are far from it. Our only chance will be standing together and I don't know how many are actually willing.
They don't need more than bullets, they have the power to take what we have.
His highness at work,

Cliffs notes:
One of the most frightening Obama edicts to come down the pike is Executive Order 13603 on “National Defense Resources Preparedness,” issued a little over a year ago, on March 16, 2012. This executive order is frightening because of its sweeping scope, explicitly declaring that the president and his designated Cabinet and agency heads have authority to commandeer and control:
all water,
all human and animal food,
all transportation,
all energy,
all construction materials,
all “health resources,”
all farm equipment,
all fertilizers,
all fuels,
… and much more.

I see the same problem for them. How many will walk off the job when they start getting orders to fire on civilians.
The gov can't run any operations like that without collateral damage. Hell, we've blown up schools in Afghanistan.
When I say neither side would e ready I meant it more in terms of just how ugly things would get.
This is a rabbit whole which has had many threads devoted to it so I'm gonna try not to hijack this one any further. Just take a little time and look at how past conflict have played out in situations where the citizens of a nation were well armed and determined and hard to distinguish from non combatants (Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam). Americans have a natural fighting spirit and resistance to authority.

I don't know about the first part, but that's why I believe "they" will attempt whatever they do using law enforcement (DHS) rather than troops.
As to the second part, I know what you mean. It would be a bloody nasty mess, just look at what the Civil War looked like.
Oh I know, but look at what happened in Boston.
and for the record, his highness only reauthorized a power that's been around for decades.
Seems there are way to many variables to consider and I pray it never come down to a real "us VS them" fight. I wouldn't want my family to be out through that kind of ordeal and many such as my dad would wind up being casualties because I don't think he would be able to get certain medications that he needs.
As far as DHS, they better start hiring more people, lol. The numbers just aren't there.
In the meantime I will continue to enjoy shooting and prepare as best I can for the next ammo shortage and buy guns I enjoy shooting and making sure my children are raised to know the principles this country was founded on and why some things are worth fighting for.

Glad to be back.
There are over 22 Million Vets in this country (not on active or reserve duty). There are alot more people out here that are trained to fight and have fought than what the DHS can throw at us.
I know what you mean.
The revolution was fought and won by a mere 3% so I think you're right here as well.
As will I and most of my family and friends. It is about all we can do.
Just remember in their minds, we are no different than terrorists. We're the first people they point their finger at when this happens... Only later do they figure out it wasn't a right wing extremist...
All this while gun control has been boosted up. As far as the personell issue to pull it off-the only way I can see it being pulled off is by bringing in outside troops. Just can't figure out who, how, or why. I really wish we had an inside source.
