Army Officer Wants You Disarmed: “We Will Pry Your Gun from Your Cold, Dead Fingers”

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Within the upper echelons of our military there still remain men and women who are committed to the fundamental laws of the land. But assuming that all members of our military will be there to support the Constitution of the United States when our nation needs them most would be a mistake.

Understand this: There are those within their ranks who would turn on their oaths and forcibly seize the very rights our Founders fought so hard to preserve without giving it a second thought.

The following opinion piece, penned by Lt. Col. Robert Bateman, shows in stark detail exactly what we’re dealing with and argues in no uncertain terms that the American public must be disarmed in order for the United States to survive.

The ideas proposed by Lt. Col. Bateman in It’s Time to Talk About Guns and the Supreme Court are nothing short of shocking.

This is coming from an active military commander, and though not officially sanctioned by the administration, his work is obviously a propaganda piece designed to give the gun grabber initiative direct support from military leadership.

Guns are tools. I use these tools in my job. But like all tools one must be trained and educated in their use. Weapons are there for the “well regulated militia.” Their use, therefore, must be in defense of the nation. Shooting and killing somebody because they were not “upset enough” over the loss of a college football team should not be possible in our great nation. Which is why I am adding the following “Gun Plank” to the Bateman-Pierce platform. Here are some suggestions:

1. The only guns permitted will be the following:

  • a. Smoothbore or Rifled muzzle-loading blackpowder muskets. No 7-11 in history has ever been held up with one of these.
  • b. Double-barrel breech-loading shotguns. Hunting with these is valid.
  • c. Bolt-action rifles with a magazine capacity no greater than five rounds. Like I said, hunting is valid. But if you cannot bring down a defenseless deer in under five rounds, then you have no fking reason to be holding a killing tool in the first place.

2. We will pry your gun from your cold, dead, fingers. That is because I am willing to wait until you die, hopefully of natural causes. Guns, except for the three approved categories, cannot be inherited. When you die your weapons must be turned into the local police department, which will then destroy them. (Weapons of historical significance will be de-milled, but may be preserved.)

3. Police departments are no longer allowed to sell or auction weapons used in crimes after the cases have been closed. (That will piss off some cops, since they really need this money. But you know what they need more? Less violence and death. By continuing the process of weapon recirculation, they are only making their jobs — or the jobs of some other cops — harder.)

4. We will submit a new tax on ammunition. In the first two years it will be 400 percent of the current retail cost of that type of ammunition. (Exemptions for the ammo used by the approved weapons.) Thereafter it will increase by 20 percent per year.

5. We will initiate a nationwide “buy-back” program, effective immediately, with the payouts coming from the DoD budget. This buy-back program will start purchasing weapons at 200 percent of their face value the first year, 150 percent the second year, 100 percent the third year. Thereafter there will be a 10 year pause, at which point the guns can be sold to the government at 10 percent of their value for the next 50 years.

6. The major gun manufactures of the United States, less those who create weapons for the federal government and the armed forces, will be bought out by the United States of America, for our own damned good.

Excerpted from Esquire Magazine via Sipsey Street Irregulars

You won’t see the establishment media publishing arguments from top military leaders in support of the Second Amendment. Sadly, however, those who would take away our right to defend ourselves have been given a limitless platform to push their agenda to the masses.

Hundreds of thousands of services members, both active and retired, have put their lives on the line to uphold those rights which have made our nation great. There’s no doubt that they will do so again when the need arises.

But on the flip side of that coin are potentially hundreds of thousands of others who have no qualms about “just following orders.”

A report earlier this year from well connected philanthropist Dr. Jim Garrow claims that there is a new litmus test for military leadership:

I have just been informed by a former senior military leader that Obama is using a new “litmus test” in determining who will stay and who must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks.

“The new litmus test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens or not”.

Those who will not are being removed.

Obviously, Lt. Col. Robert Bateman passed the test with flying colors.

      This is why Obama is purging the officer corps and also the enlisted ranks by closing the PX’s and other things. Once the patriots are gone or too few in number to make any difference, the trouble will begin.

      TO LT. COL. BATEMAN AND ALL WITH LIKE STATED ATTITUDE ,
      Obviously this was a submitted artile and this is based upon the content of this artile being an accurate reprensation of your attitude . The rule of law of the constitution is still the law of the US , it is being grossly ignored by the current federal government at various levels , different law enforement officers and apparently vaqrious military members. That said , the constitution REMAINS THE LAW and those in flagrant voilation will one day find themselves fighting an army larger than they can imagine . At some point those with this anti constitution attitude will be facing the people with the same spirit as the ones who liberated the US from english tyranny. While outarmed , with an obvious disadvantage in technology as well , there are many with a spirit that is far beyond what you are ready to face. Even if you manage to kill all those fighting for moral rule of law , what will you have gained? ontrol of a wasteland with no people remaining besides one who will ignore the rule of law for personal gain.
      Keep something else in mind , if histroy serves as a precedent , it will be the higher ranking traitors targeted first.
      This does not need to happen , if you don’t agree with the constitution , change it ***LEGALLY** . Good luck. The general population is up to their figurative chins with flagrant violation of God given rights and dignities , road side cavity searches , brutality and abuse of power within your ranks.
      I personally believe God will smite you and your kind , but not before you have murdered many. I leave my fighting to God and his TRUE annointed. THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX….
      DUE RESPECT AND RECOGNITION TO CONSTITUTION SERVING MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES , YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE , YOU WILL BE THE WILD CARD IN THE CONTROL OF TYRANNY.

      • energymight

        AND let’s not forget that Tyrants always execute those that assist them in their dirty work eventually. They know too much and have too much ability to turn on them – as their paranoia ruins deep. So, GOOD luck Lite Colonel. You will be a target from both ends. How you have forgotten yourself and for what you have been commissioned to work to uphold: The Constitution of the United States.

      • Vet@the Ready

        I hope Obama’s yes men are ready to try & take em from millions of combat vets that love their freedom & the 2nd Amendment.

        They have no idea the sleeping giant they would awaken!

        • bozzchem

          I hope you are right.

          There are millions of us counting on your statement to be accurate.

    • The Living Man

      The rule of law of the constitution is still the law of the US, contrary to how it is being grossly ignored by the current federal government and at various levels. Therefore the people will start to feel that they no longer have to abide by these laws that have been shoved down our thoughts, and when that happens look out you unjust law making people like YOU and all the rest. We the people have done it before and WILL DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

    • ElOregonian

      Perfect name for the “Carrot” to be dangled in front of patriots to get this crap started. “Lt. Col. Bateman” or “Bait-man”. Keep your powder dry, boys…

    • abnegative

      why did you censor my comment ? Is before it’s news now censoring legitimate comments?

    • Anonymous

      yes you might but dont forget your own dead im sure youll have more then you exspect when ths is over.

    • Arte Vespule

      Nice talk. But it is just that, talk. There are something like 100 million gun owners in this country. If only ten percent choose to fight the military will be grossly outnumbered. Sure they have the wonder toys, but we have numbers. And we won’t be wearing uniforms. And we won’t be going toe to toe either. The Russians couldn’t pacify Afghanistan with all their tech and weapons. Neither could the US. They failed to conquer Vietnam too. There is no way they come out on top in such a fight. It wold be a civil war of vast proportions. And you can bet, other countries will be jumping in too. This Colonel is a damn fool. He should be fired and charged with treason for even thinking this, never mind writing it. So it is somewhat obvious that there will be a split in the military too. That’s gonna be the “wild card”. Once the sides are created, the actual killing won’t take too long I suppose. Here is to hoping the Colonel meets up with a bullet sooner rather than later…

    • Anonymous

      We can honestly say Lt.Col Bateman is a traitor, and the oath that he took not only to the people and the constitution means nothing to him, so that means he also has no morals, nor character, nor personal pride, nor self respect. He also in that oath gave it to the Lord God Almighty and that sir is what will damn you for ever if you indeed do what you say. But when and if this country does indeed try to disarm its citizens and bring death and injury to those sir that pay your wages, it would give me great pleasure to shoot you as a traitor.

    • icetrout

      The traitors in the military who would turn on American Citizens will be responsible for the deaths of their own family members… an eye for an eye…

      Army Officer Wants You Disarmed: “We Will Pry Your Gun from Your Cold, Dead Fingers”

      Who is WE, when you we’s come to my house to pry my guns from my cold hands you will feel the wrath of Kan.

      • bozzchem

        Guys like him always use the term “we”. So do politicians and bureaucrats.

        You’ll find most cowards use the term “We” knowing that they don’t have the balls to check the mail when it’s raining.

        There is only one way to deal with this type of vermin. You can read about how to do so in the Declaration of Independence.

    • Abyssa8

      I love that this life is so short and that it will end for us all–that I do not put as much stock in this one as I do eternity with Christ and His Son, that we will ALL stand at the judgement seat of Christ, I therefore embrace my last moments on earth enforcing God, life, and liberty until my last dying breath!

      • sarah

        Sudden death. Sudden glory. Lt. Col. Bateman doesn’t work for Americans, and he darn sure don’t work for the Christian God of America. So, who does he work for? Course we don’t need to die for our country. We need to let the other SOB die for his according to General Patton.

    • CrowPie

      I am surprised by how many military officers believe civilians should NOT have fire arms.

      • Neanderthal

        How many crowpie? huh?

        • CrowPie

          In my mostly military family….I was very surprised that 3 out of 5 officers felt that way.

          The three against…..are 40yrs or younger.

          The two in favor….are over 70 yrs old.

          Good enough for ya? huh? a-hole

    • BinaryRecoil

      If it is that only people trained in the proper use of weapons should be permanently disarmed, then I submit that the Military should be stripped of all firearms, transportation, missiles and otherwise classified “Weapons of Mass Destruction” (where this title is legally classified as anything from a semi-automatic shotgun with a barrel clip to anything as or more destructive than a Nuclear bomb).

      Because you “Authorized users” are taking orders without even taking the time to find out if the people commanding you are mentally stable, by your own Protocols as; Army, Navy, Marines, AirForce, & Special Forces, AND EVEN POLICE & FEDERAL “AUTHORITIES” I hereby relieve you of command for mental instability and loss of objectivity.

      If we don’t live in a world where we are all equal, then you proclaim yourself my master & you must die. End of story.

      • BinaryRecoil

        I left a whole sentence out in rage.
        Those who are trained in the proper use of weapons are those that understand no other being has a right to disarm them under any circumstance.

        Quite honestly it needs to be restated, if it were acceptable to disarm “Convicts, Criminals, & Fugitives”- the United States of America wouldn’t exist and if Fate allowed this traitor to still be born he would assuredly be a part of the Sovereign Military of the Royalty of England’s world wide dominion. That ####### opened his mouth and stuck his foot, knee deep, down his own throat while advocating Treason against the oath he swore to uphold in the process of finding himself in the position he’s currently in.

    • bozzchem

      His name is known.

      What needs to be known is his address.

      Can anyone provide that information?

    • Call It Like It Is...

      Barrack Hussein O’Bama and his pansy ass group of misguided liberals has destroyed the Constitution and have been discharging the Military Men and Women who stand in their way.

      That’s fine with me because “We The People” will want these same Generals and Officers leading us to your defeat… There are plenty of us experienced Service Vets who love our Constitution and the Second Amendment…

      Those of us who were in a position to stockpile ammunition and guns will prevail against his type of mentality… It is only a matter of time before the U.S. population rises up against the likes of you and your President…

      If you think about it, “We The People” can topple Washington, DC by peaceful measures and by force if needed. It is only a matter of time before the U.S. Government falls, and falls very hard…

      President O’Bama is has been involved in more scandals than the 10 presidents before him. He is NOT a legal citizen and that is why he has spent Millions of Dollars to hide his past.

      The American people are slow to anger but determined to do what is Right…

      Sleep with one eye open dear Mr. Barry Sotero…
