My favorite comment:

I dunno. In NY, the Gov is talking about confiscation of guns.



Then he can go door to door and pick them up.

Their kidding themselves... they'll (for the most part) fall right in line and follow orders.

Look at Post Katrina to see what they'll do.

While I think there will be "good guys" that uphold the constitution, history shows us that they'll follow master's orders

When the threat of not collecting a paycheck and ever working again is introduced to the fray I have a feeling most of them would fall in line

i like the comment "I would end up taking a lot of reports about sinking boats...."

When it gets bad, its going to get very bad.
I see people at the end of ropes and standing in front of a concrete wall for the last time crying "I was following orders!"

It will just take one cop getting shot and the rest of the pissed off force will be busting down doors with tanks.

I know it's odd, but I took all my firearms except these revolvers and a shotgun out fishing with me on CC resevoir and the damn boat just sank somehow.

I suspect many will end up not collecting a paycheck or needing to worry about ever working again either...which is why they may not want to fall in line.

It will just take one cop getting shot and the rest of the pissed off force will be busting down doors with tanks.

This is the subsequent outcome of this...and then it will get really bad.
