Please keep in mind that these murderous pigs who rule over us have characterized us conservatives over and over again as terrorists.

When the government turns on the people the Second Amendment is the only recourse that we have! That is exactly why the government is trying so hard to disarm us.

Well then I hope the body guards,etc. of all the celebs and the infamous are aware that they are targeted by the Thug and his minions.

This will not end well.

Time to sharpen up the Duck shotgun skills........

I posted this earlier on Breitbart...

Now they can violate the 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, 4th Amendment, 9th Amendment and 10th Amendment all at once. Very cool.

It may be too late but if no one rises up and stops them we will be Venezuela with another 20 years of Obama. The next to fall will be the 22nd Amendment.

BTW, Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution gives Obama none of these powers.

I agree #2 and the govt is well prepared with armored vehicles, drones and stockpiled ammo to brutally put down anyone who pulls out a gun even in self defence. They will do provocations and hammer any response hard. The media will back up the govt every inch of the way. I just hope that there are enough real patriots in the military who will not follow illegitimate orders.

Oh, brother. Big Brother.

Preparing for civil unrest when Obama declares he will be president in a 3rd term.

The Marxist-in-chief is building his ´civilian´ force as fast as possible. Another civil war is coming I fear. Time for some enterprising true Americans to develop and field surface-to-drone solutions to this coming problem.

I don´t understand how the technology works. They can´t xray from altitude. Radar doesn´t have the resolution to tell the difference in a gun versus the whole human body. If the gun is concealed how can they detect it? They only way I can think of is to try to draw fire. Or perhaps the drone has super long arms that can do a pat down. I´m sure an IR camera has enough resolution to see the bulk of a large gun. But I´m talking LARGE. This sounds like an urban legend.

Buy RC hobby aircraft while you still can!

Agree with #10. This is just another attempt to frighten us...

The screws continue to tighten...

Anyone know the answer?

I know you need a permit for concealed carry ... but if I were to strap a gun on my hip in full view of the world ... do I need a permit since it´s not concealed?

Ever get the idea that these stories are being planted to stir up all (of us) birthers and other knuckle-draggering mouth breatheers so that Big Sis can point to us and say " See, they´re buying guns and ammo because of these non-sourced conspiratorial stories, which are the same thing as the birth certificate, social security card and Kenyan birth crowd- for those Tea Party types that hate government, anyway".
I´m not buying the technological ability , either.

For what it´s worth, the most recent version of the unredacted DHS document is dated May 26, 2005. It´s almost eight years old.

I agree with #10. Whether or not the drone is able to detect a firearm doesn´t matter; if one is attacked by a drone all the government would have to say is "The drone mistook (fill in the blank...) for a firearm. Sorry about that." So even if we´ve chewed a pop-tart into the form of a pistol, a drone would be justified in attacking because it supposedly detects a firearm. Government can BLAME THE DRONE for killings; they will attribute lethal mistakes to errant machinery or programming.

Openly carrying a rifle is easy. It is possible that concealed carry of a large pistol may show on thermal imaging.

Rand Paul asked, and Holder has reported that killing American citizens inside the US with a drone and no trial is legal according to his flying monkeys in the "Dept of Justice".

I, too, wonder how much of this is intended to freak everyone out, then get us used to them "crying wolf" so we do not react when they really ARE doing this stuff.

I still think the DHS ammo buy numbers are off by 1,000 times too high - based on reading the original source documents carefully.

#@10: Most likely the drone will view the human being as a heat source and draw attention to all foreign objects attached to that heat source, which in turn may identify the `shape` of any object being carried. If an object even looks like a gun the local police can be alerted and a stop/search can be made using `probable cause`.

I`d call this Authoritative Paranoia Syndrome on behalf of the govn.

Why wouldn´t they want these for overseas contingencies. Flying over a "wedding party" to see it´s intent.

With increasing intensity the government views the people as enemies to be conquered and controlled.

If the government views YOU as the enemy, how should you view the GOVERNMENT?

I agree with others that we should be wary of some info released by the govt which is normally secretive may well be disinformation to provoke a reaction.

#10 - or they´re using Terra-hertz imagers. Perhaps DARPA has made a significant advance in them.

Wasn´t one of the earlier czars (or potential czar)recommending that the government infiltrate the society to monitor and nudge people into desired behavior? Can´t remember if it was sunnystein or if it was one of the other equally reprehensible characters. We could be getting pushed into behavior that would "snap" their trap and lead us to disaster. In te meantime, we should probably be doing the same.

The military version of the Predator B drone carries 100-pound Hellfire missiles, but the Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP) says the 10 drones in its domestic fleet are unarmed, so far...

Here´s an interesting link regarding drones:

Would a heated holster prevent this?
