They're also mostly mercenaries who will do what they're told rather than risk losing their pension. I suspect some military and police would defect, but not nearly as many as people think. The national guard confiscated guns during Hurricane Katrina, and I don't recall any stories of any significant amount of guardsmen who refused to follow those orders. Superior officer said "It's an emergency, so this is legal," and everyone involved said "Yes, sir." I don't think literal emergencies like this are necessarily good precedent for how people would act in case of mass, indiscriminate gun confiscation. --- Blasting off <cite>redrocket_pub posted [p:898488364] in Freedom, L...
