There you go. The military going door-to-door with guns drawn, taking everyone's firearms, and openly stating they would shoot Americans.

...AND immediately afterwards, action was taken to relieve the states of their powers over the guard. READ THE LINK. Additionally, there was no need to be there with guns in the first place! GAWD I wish we could get neg rep back or at least stoopid rep. Listen my friend, I am thankful for those who served before me and after me, that however does NOT mean I accept that they somehow have power over me when it is ME they serve! When they begin to think and act as if it is the other way around, we're gonna have trouble. MARK MY WORDS.Okay yoohoo thats ONE unit saying they would fire on those who presented a hostile act on them man to man if you can tell me if someone raised a gun at you and you had yours you wouldnt shoot? 2nd IF you watched the police are confiscating weapons not the national guard who were acting in a capacity for the state not the federal government.
I retired, from INARNG, 22 years, plus 4 in USMC, and I can ASSURE you, the State Guard, answers to the GOVERNOR..... When I was deployed, the Pres. ASKED the GOVERNOR, to deploy us... YES, while on AD, Guard members are paid under Title 10, Federal Money.... BUT, the State budget, comes from the Fed., anyway ..... NOT really much difference.... I am sure Jeremy, can tell you MORE ..... I Ret., 5 years ago, things COULD have changed.....
and for our Marine friend - you are 100% correct you always have the right to self-defense. But when I'm standing inside my house with my rifle and some military / LE is outside the door and your that military / LE. Who has the right for self-defense? I know you said you would never do that, but that is the example you gave from the video. those cops and military in that video have the right to defend yourself.

Actually the Army National Guard did confiscate firearms during Katrina. Do your homework. Even watch the video. Army National Guard. In fact, NG units from other states were brought in to assist. And to their credit, some out of state NG members refused. Others did not.the police are confiscating weapons not the national guard who were acting in a capacity for the state not the federal government.

one word Mattis if you dont know who that is look him up.
I would suggest that this is an impasse which cannot be resolved.
Yes.
There's even a youtube video with IN guardsmen saying they will.
