How Does One Actually Buy Gold?

[Martin Hash]

More like private security firms getting into some search and seizure contracts.

I think there is a good chance, if the democrats take power again, there will be a federal police force created just so they can better come down and start seizing our weapons and other possessions in anticipation of this.

No one can predict when The Collapse is going to occur, or what will make it occur, and when it does occur, it will be too late to send out goons. Within the first month, the National Guard will be protecting neighborhoods, and National Guard, your uncles & brothers, aren't going to let goons in. It will have to be after the National Guard goes home.

Do you see them doing that for free, patrolling city streets, while their families are alone in the suburbs?

The National Guard are intentionally not sent to their hometowns; they are expected to protect other people's families like they want their own families to be protected by other National Guard.

People don't join the National Guard for money.

How long you suppose before they realize that they're only guarding mansions and commercial buildings?

The commanders of National Guard units are just your older brothers & uncles. Who's going to issue orders like that? The governor? Democracy.

It's cities versus America.

There is no democracy in a military action. Look at the last dozen times the Guard was called out - hurricanes, riots, whatever. The rich hoods are priority 1 - no doubt to “contain the economic damage”.

LOL.

"Democracy" is not present in "military action" or "hurricanes, riots, whatever"?

Bring back the draft.

Democracy elects the governor, and in my State, judges. The Governor controls the NG, and judges control the police.

Now that’s funny right there.

[Speaker to Animals]

Governors can use the national guard, but they don't really command those units. Those are federal troops.

Some states still have actual militias. Those militias are directly commanded by the governor. That's a better way to depend on troops for emergencies, in my opinion. We really need to go back to state, county, and town militias.
