I wouldn't do it if I was an officer. Not because it would be dangerous as hell, but because it is stealing peoples rights and constitutionally wrong, wrong, wrong. Obama can kiss my ass that half communist, half nazi pos.
It doesnt matter if a handful say they wont, there are more than enough who are willing. The oathkeepers don't matter, there are only about 10,000 members, and many of them are veterans. Even if they were all active duty, they would make up less than 1% of LEOs and service members.
LEOs confiscate hundreds if not thousands guns on a daily basis today, because their owners by law are not allowed to own them. If all guns were outlawed, they would confiscate them from you or me too under the same pretenses. The military is no different, nor is it unprecented for them to do so, such as the confiscations which happened at the Paint Creek/Cabin Creek Strike of 1912 or the Johnson County War of 1892 among other incidents. They will not hesitate to fire on American civilians either. From the Whiskey Rebellion to Kent State, service members have on countless occasions brutally assaulted the American people, who quite often were simply exercising their 1A rights. My favorite incident was the 1932 Bonus protests in Wash. DC where Gen. MacArthur, Gen. Eisenhower and Maj. Patton assaulted 43,000 WW1 veterans, their wives and children, with rifles, bayonets, tanks and a arsenic based chemical weapon. Going so far as to even demolish the veterans homes. Even when Gen. MacArthur was directly ordered to cease his assault by his Commander and Chief, Pres. Hoover, he refused to do so because he did not personally agree with the suspected political views of the WW1 veterans.
Two of my favorite quotes come from the Colorado Labor Wars:
"To hell with the constitution, we aren't going by the constitution."
-Maj. Thomas McClellend
"Habeas corpus be damned, we'll give 'em post mortems"
-Gen. Sherman Bell
It is not unheard of them to engage in extra-judicial executions of American citizens without legal repercussions either, such as during the Alabama Coal Strike of 1920. Adrian Northcutt, a local union offical was summoned out of his home. William Baird heard several shots fired in quick succession, came out and found his uncle-in-law dead (Northcutt) on the ground with Private James Morris standing over him. Baird shot Morris is self-defense and then fled. After three days Baird turned himself in to Walker County officials. On Jan 5, nine guardsmen of company M subdued the sheriff on duty, lynched Baird, and then desecrated his corpse. Later Alabama governor Braxton Bragg Comer claimed the lynching of Baird "had some element of self defense in it."
The number one organization which has intentionally killed the most number of American civilians is the US military. What happened on 9-11 pales in comparison to what happened in the previous civil war.
