   > Sarah Palin: Feds ‘stockpiling bullets’ to use against us   
      
      
   Sarah Palin is our great defender and 50 times as brave, as smart and   
   as strong as all Republican men combined.   And, unlike most of them,   
   she has a job and no need to sit around all day spouting insane   
   rubbish.   
      
   She does hers through announcements to her adoring slaves.   
      
   She's going to be our leader when the time comes we, the pear shaped   
   overweight, lazy and ignorant radical rightist gun loons rise up and   
   use our guns to defeat the USA!   
      
      
   When They Come For Your Guns, You Will Turn Them Over   
      
      
      
   “When they come for my gun, they will have to pry it out of my cold,   
   dead   
   hands,” is a common refrain I often hear from the Neo-Cons when there   
   is a   
   threat, credible or otherwise, that the US government is going to take   
   their firearms.   
      
   And, when I hear this crazy talk, I agree with them openly. “You are   
   right. They will pry your gun from your cold dead hands,” which I   
   often   
   follow with the question, “And where will that leave you except face   
   down   
   in a pool of your own blood [in] the middle of the street, just   
   another   
   dead fool resisting the State?”   
      
   This is not a question they are comfortable with, if only because the   
   intent of their saber-rattling was to imply they would fight to keep   
   their   
   weapons, and win.   
      
   Nice fantasy. It’s not happening.   
      
   If the federal government decides to disarm the public, and when the   
   increasingly-militarized rolls down your street after a not-so-subtle   
   request that you kindly turn over your firearms and ammunition “for   
   the   
   common good,” it will be nothing less than suicide by cop to do   
   anything   
   other than what you are told.   
      
   The militarization of US police forces is ongoing and escalating. Many   
   cities and towns now own tanks, armed personnel carriers, even attack   
   helicopters, and almost all are outfitted with military weapons not   
   available to the general public.   
      
   And, it is not just your hometown cops who are getting new boy-toys.   
   The   
   military itself is buying up weaponry not just for use in the current   
   or   
   next scheduled war, but to deal with the likes of you, citizens who   
   don’t   
   seem to understand that the Bill of Rights has been overruled, and   
   that   
   specifically includes, but is not limited to, the right to protest and   
   engage in civil disobedience.   
      
   Also ignored (as if it didn’t even exist) is the Posse Comitatus Act   
   of   
   1878 which generally bars the military from law enforcement activities   
   within the United States.   
      
   According to Public Intelligence:   
      
   “…for the last two years, the President’s Budget Submissions for the   
   Department of Defense have included purchases of a significant amount   
   of   
   combat equipment, including armored vehicles, helicopters and even   
   artillery, under an obscure section of the FY2008 National Defense   
   Authorization Act (NDAA) for the purposes of ‘homeland defense   
   missions,   
   domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil   
   authorities.’ Items purchased under the section include combat   
   vehicles,   
   tanks, helicopters, artillery, mortar systems, missiles, small arms   
   and   
   communications equipment. Justifications for the budget items indicate   
   that many of the purchases are part of routine resupply and   
   maintenance,   
   yet in each case the procurement is cited as being ‘necessary for use   
   by   
   the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland   
   defense   
   missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support   
   to   
   civil authorities’ under section 1815 of the FY 2008 NDAA.”   
      
   And, they are not just arming cops and weekend warriors for domestic   
   purposes. Active duty Marines are now being trained for law   
   enforcement   
   operations all over the world (of which the US remains a part)   
   specifically to deal with civil uprisings, and the US government knows   
   that civil uprisings are coming to a town near you just as soon as the   
   fantasy of a healing economy is shattered, the US dollar fails, and   
   unemployment goes to 30%+ in real numbers.   
      
   And, to you tough-talking Neo-Cons with your AR-15 rifles and a few   
   thousand rounds of ammo, here is the reality: they will take your   
   guns,   
   and no, all your Second Amendment bluster aside, you are not going to   
   do   
   anything about it. You are not going to take on a platoon of Marines   
   with   
   state-of-the-art automatic weapons and the best body armor you cannot   
   buy   
   protected by armed personnel carriers and attack helicopters unless   
   you   
   choose to die that day — for nothing. You will either be in the   
   country or   
   out, and if you are in, you will stay in and you will comply.   
      
   That is your choice… for the moment.
