I asked Stewart Rhodes a simple question on May 30, 2012: At what point will people who have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution actually defend it? This was not a trick question and he answered it from his heart. But now the country is in a different position. Mr. Rhodes’ first response to attacks on the Constitution was nullification. This step has failed. The second response after nullification was civil disobedience. How can you be disobedient when the government has disarmed the people? Will restricting the right (and duty) to bear arms be the catalyst for Oath Keepers to finally stand up?
I know it is easy to sit at a keyboard and chastise people. I also know it is hard to stand up for your principles when the consequences may require the ultimate sacrifice. But now is the time to ask this question again: At what point will people who have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution actually defend it? T.L. Davis has a similar request.

The Good Cops Need To Declare Themselves Now
For the Oathkeepers, it is time to stand up. Whether they like being told what to do, or not, that is what needs to happen and pretty fast. We are at a point where we need to know who the good cops are, who the good people are.
The scenario is this: I just got busted for some nonsense illegal possession of a firearm charge, now maybe they just made my firearm illegal, or maybe they just made me illegal, i.e. I’ve been to the doctor for depression (don’t worry not in real life) and now I cannot own a gun. So I am there, in the Oathkeepers squad car.
I ask are you OK? (meaning Oathkeepers of course).
You, as the law enforcement officer, ex-military say, after a pause to see if what I am asking is what you are about to answer, you say yes.
Now, we have a problem. Why in the hell am I in your squad car to begin with? You have violated your oath already, the first one to defend the Constitution, so help you God and the other when you swore to all of us you would stand up for us when the time came.
you are absolutely right. and when i did swear the oath, i dont remember an expiration date. problem is, i cant do it alone, but i intend to keep to my oath
