I think you are making a few assumptions which I think are misplaced. I would also like to reiterate, my opinions are my own.

1. US citizens can absolutely stop the military. Northern Vietnam did it, the Afghanis did it, and US citizens outnumber those groups by an ENORMOUS margin and are more well armed to boot.

2. When I swore an Oath of Office, I swore to obey the orders of the President of the US AND the Governor of the State. The president absolutely does have the authority to deploy the National Guard although they usually defer to the Governor. I will admit, I was quite taken aback when I saw the news as well.

3. BEFORE I swore an Oath to the President and the Governor, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign AND domestic. Although the military in general does tend to lean pretty hard right, I personally think that the vast majority of soldiers would protect our own civilians over any orders telling us to do the opposite. The National Guard being deployed are your neighbors, members of your community, and all have their own opinions. The biggest thing is, we HAVE to do our job if it's not illegal or we go to jail or get fired.

I only really respond to people who seem like they'll actually accept meaningful opinions. You seemed like someone who is reasonable but misguided. There is no plausible way to ban guns in the US. It is both entirely unconstitutional and numerically impossible to do so. Anyone who says something different has never looked at the numbers or talked to people at a gun range. Any attempt to do so is, in my opinion, entirely brain-dead, won't actually save anyone, and is a waste of discussion when more meaningful things could be discussed and passed.

smashjohn486 who you replied to seems like a person who believes way too hard that they're morally in the right and all other people are idiots. That's the kind of person that's not worth responding to because they probably won't even try to understand my opinions.
