Will US Military mutiny if ordered to disarm pro gun lobby?

Serving Solider's answer to Do pro-gun people think they can fight off the US military?

hi

Ironic if US Civil War2 was fought over the principal to bare arms against your own government? Outside of the US this seems very strange. Just sayin.

Also you would not be in the US Military from when you took up arms against it.... (more)

That is true. I would not be. My point is that the military, for all intents and purposes, would cease to exist. Sure, there'd be fragments of flesh that hung on to what is left of the rotting corpse, but, functionally, the military would be inoperable. Tanks and planes don't drive, shoot, and maintain themselves on hopes and dreams. The thing about having an all volunteer force is that most of your volunteers tend to be similar in their point of view. This is especially true of the National Guard and Reserves who are literally neighbors in the same community. The kinds of people that would be willing to use the military in such a way tend not to be the type that volunteers for military service. The exodus of personnel (and any equipment not bolted down) would be extraordinary.

hi

wow you are talking military mutiny! If every soldier did so then that would be a coup! To avoid that the government would cave in. Is USA ungovernable then?

The military is sworn to up hold and defend the constitution . The constitution protects the rights of the citizens of the US to keep and bear arms . So the military in my opinion would side with their friends and families and not enforce an unlawful
Order .

I’ll get a gun for civil war 2. I don’t own a gun, but I support the rights of gun owners.

hi Socialclutz ·
Ammunition should be banned and in time all guns would go silent.

I don't think they would, or at least not enough to make a significant difference. Civil War 2 would last about 5 minutes.

hi crossproduct
hope so. Someone has to take the guns away.

@sogdianrock the real problem is that Americans are afraid of each other. It's slowly poisoning them and standing here next door it feels like helplessly watching your alcoholic older brother drink himself to death and being unable to do anything about it.

hi crossproduct
I share your concern. I am amazed how bad it is.

@sogdianrock What I meant was that the 2nd Amendment will never be repealed.

hi SmartKat
Contained then? I mean sure carry sporting guns and personal side arms like pistols if you want but not military automatic rifles like used at Las Vegas!
Best wishes

@sogdianrock I wish we could have sane, reasonable gun rules in the U.S. I have *no* problem with mentally healthy people who have had safety training, owning and using guns, in places like hunting areas, target ranges, etc.

But the right wingers want the right for any person (criminal, mentally ill, 4 years old, etc.) to be able to have as many military-grade weapons as they want, and bring them to church, the supermarket, baby showers, etc.
