@CountryGent, their response is a nonresponse, and is appropriate. Since it hasn't happened yet, and no order has been given, the command won't guess at what might happen. Coups and military go hand in hand, and they (the guard)must tread very lightly to not provoke either side or risk alarming the feds as well.
And to have a counter movement a untied front is needed...
It's a fact that many politicians don't know anything about the National Guard.
you've got too many gun owners that voice a willingness to compromise, of any kind. Even saying so much as "sure, I'm all for new laws that keep guns out of criminals hands".... means youre with the left. Regardless of how rational they may think it is...they are miss the point.... if you give an inch, they will take a mile.If this were to come to pass...it may be turning point in our history.
I say may , because , we as gun owners and dare I say Americans , really ain't united...
And to have a counter movement a untied front is needed...Else all the little splintering groups will fizzle out or be hunted down.

As a dyslexic, I read that sentence as "lexidyxics are people too, you know."Lysdexics are teople poo, you know.
People look at the National Guard like every unit is a crack squadron of Green Berets. The guard is made up of everything from the fighting cooks, admins with attitudes to actual Billy Badazzes. However, the Guard in my opinion was never designed to be an occupying force on it's own. The rank and file in the guard will likely come from the people against this tyrannical idea and will not show up to fight themselves.
You know you are on the wrong side of history when a proposed new law includes possibly needing to muster the national guard to enforce it.
If they want to keep breathing they will. Simple math tells us everything we and the Guard need to know about how this pans out. I wouldn't be worried if I was in VA.. However, that being said, keep your powder dry boys!Anything short of "Not no but EFF NO!!!. In no way shape or form will I turn armed soldiers against US Citizens." is unacceptable.
The non response tells me that the General is a political type who lacks the courage to do the right thing. I hope that the soldiers they ask to do the dirty work will refuse to comply.
My point is guard units like all units have a specialty. It might be a combat unit, but it also could be a communications unit or air wing. Not all would have specific fighting capabilities or even remember the dangerous end of an M4.In general, the Guard is more formidable than it used to be due to the routine federal activations many of its members have been called up for in recent times. Right now about half of Guardsmen have combat experience.
