I agree that there'd be no quicker way to get most of those 80 million gun owners spun up against him, but what if the next long standing restraint on the power of government he's willing to toss on the burn pile is POSSE COMMITATUS?
Remember, he's a "community organizer", which, when you break it down, means he's a street thug from Chicago. With his ego, he's got to be thinking that his gang of "community organizer" muscle can get the better of us, because they're more ruthless, more willing to terrorize their opponents into submission than we are.
The example I used on the other site was the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution. They were only about 20% of the Russian people, but they took and held political power by being more ruthless than their opponents.
Yes, there are 80 million of us gun owners, but we are scattered across 3000 miles of North America. Also, we are at our hearts, essentially good people. Those of us who have felt the heat of combat won't shy away from squeezing that trigger like others will, but they will have their own hesitation to turn their arms on "their countrymen". Obama's mobs won't be operating under similar handicaps.
