What would you do if martial law was declared and government contractors showed up in place of the Military?

to be honest I dont think it could happen that way ..because
1. behind every blade of grass there is a gun in America
that's the reason we haven't been invaded
2. Americans as a mob could overcome anything a private military could muscle
street wars don't make for good battle grounds reason wars in middle east have lasted so long
3. We would all die for country or die protecting it especially from a domestic terrorist
when our back is against the wall we will do the unthinkable to protect ourselves ( hiroshima nagasaki )
not that citizens have atom bomb just saying we have a breaking point when rules of war no longer apply
The only way they would be able to do martial law is if we agree to it through fear
1. Outbreak
we would be at the will of the government neighbors would turn on each other and no one would care in the sick were put in camps because your life and the life of your family would be at stake
If its gonna happen it will be this ...
This USED to be the idea.. however a gun w/o ammo is useless...current events are such and have been for a while that the Gov is limiting the amount of ammo one needs to have per household, also, from a personal source, if you make your own ammo, the powder you need is being also limited..

hmmmmm....the technology always has the upper hand.. might want to rethink this statement.. remember your deal with unlimited amount of cash.. and secret budget projects used on civilians.. remember, it's martial law.. ANYTHING goes.. the rules of engagement are zero!

I honestly am not worried about posting on here. I long ago accepted the fact that anything I (or anyone else for that matter)do on my computer can be and probably is monitored so I just gave up caring. If the government wants to come after us I say bring it on. This revolution has to start somehow. If it has to start with the GOV sending out tactical snatch teams to take away everyone who says stuff like we do, then let's go. I sure wouldn't want to kick down the door of someone like myself. We must stop being afraid of these bullies or this will only continue. Anyway Thanks.
