Military officer calls for draconian gun grab

"We will pry your gun from your cold, dead, fingers," he wrote.

Read Bateman's original, full article at Esquire to understand the ridiculousness of his stance on guns:

Don't get what you're asking? The article links to the original Esquire piece.

Guess maybe he's hoping the WH will notice him.

New York Guard

Some sources are saying he's in the New York Guard - not the New York National Guard.

Little bit of difference if it's true.

If you are with Linked In goggle him up.

Apparently Bateman is president and founder of Alliance Defense Marketing Associates LLC, a “global premier risk management” firm that does work for the DHS.

This guy is all over the place.

Go here and look at his listing. http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Robert-Bateman/1584725228

Looks like he is National Guard and is the G2. Not a full timer from what I have been able to find. A guy in our office emailed him and this guy stated he was a west point grad active duty teaching right now at West Point. Can someone with AKO check and see if he is listed in any shape or form ?

This guy is a member of every type of group you can think of. He has his name on Association board after board. How do you have time to be on all of them and still have a job. Something smells about this guy.

Wait for me to die to pry it from my cold, dead hands?
How old is he?

Plenty of firearms being transferred among private parties in Free America (including preemptive de facto inheritances).
Hard to confiscate them if you don't know who has them.

California and New York have shown what happens when firearms are registered.
Citizens elsewhere are unlikely to repeat the error.

Just a desperate rant from a fading liberal, raging at the dying of his light.
Yeah, I'll still have my guns (and my kids will, too) long after he's pushing up daisies.

Well Richard on your post he is a LTC on other postings he is a COL. I still would like to know what AKO list him as and where. His own bio list COL and NYNG G2.

His email yesterday to a co-worker said he was active duty LTC and a professor at West Point.

What is the real deal with this guy.....
