Some former and current military leaders seem genuinely concerned about the President declaring he would use the active duty military to “dominate” protesters.

Democrats, of course, quickly joined that criticism; but the question I鈥檓 hearing is why more Republicans haven鈥檛 spoken out on this. Republicans abhor big government 鈥� so why stay silent on this?

Well, I don鈥檛 know what鈥檚 in their hearts, but I know what you鈥檒l find on conservative websites.

罢丑别谤别鈥檚 鈥� and it doesn鈥檛 get more conservative than that 鈥� titled, 鈥淗ow The Second Amendment Prevents Tyranny.鈥�

The essay says our nation’s founders opted 鈥渢o rely for our defense primarily on an armed citizenry that can be called up as a militia.”

“If the people themselves are the military power of the state, then that power cannot be used against the people,” it continues.

That鈥檚 why the Second Amendment is a bedrock conservative principle.

And that, I believe, is why most Republicans are silent. They don鈥檛 see a problem here because were the President to go too far, the solution is built in. It鈥檚 the militia 鈥� today we call it the National Guard — which would make sure that federal military power could not be used against the American people.

Unfortunately, when you think about it, the scenarios get pretty ugly, right? It could mean anything from general mutiny to civil war.

Which might be another reason for the silence.
