Tea Party Members Conspiring Armed Overthrow of Government

136. I'll tell ya ...

These guys are living in a fantasy world.

A couple of years ago (2010), I went to visit my Mom for her birthday. My sister brought her fox"news" watching, limbaugh listening, SWAT Team member Deputy Sheriff of a boyfriend to the birthday dinner. (Yeah ... I know!)

One topic led to another until he brought up the paranoid, &quot President) Obama is gonna try and take away our guns so that he can turn this nation into a dictatorship" narrative.

That's when I had had enough, so I asked him:

Me: "If what you say is true, and President Obama plans to turn this nation into a dictatorship, what good will your weapons do?"

Him: "What do you mean? That's why we must stay armed and ready."

Me: "Okay ... You're a SWAT cop, right?

Him: "Yep. Best job I've ever had."

Me: "So you go up against some pretty hairy situations against some pretty heavily armed bad guys. Right?

Him: "Yep ... {And he tells me in detail about a time when they raided a major meth/cocaine operation. He told about how inside the building there were 20 gang members, armed with fully automatic weapons ... I could have sworn he was getting erect, under the table, in re-telling the story}."

Me: "Wow ... That must have been pretty intense. But let me ask you ... was there any doubt, by any member of your team, that at the end of the day, you guys were going to walk out of that building with every single gun and the bad guys would be either arrested or dead?"

Him: "Nope ... We planned the operation down to the last detail plus we know what we're doing."

Me: "Okay ... Again, given your experience on SWAT, what good will your guns do?"

I still don't think he got my point because he stopped speaking to me.
