Yeah, I could see President Long pulling this off. It would've been awesome. (kidding)

No!

Clinton did a study to see if the military would obey an unconstitutional order to seize the firearms of American citizens (a necessary precurssor to seizing total power).

The Marines categorically refused (in the study) to obey such an order.

That's the good thing about the American military. Because it's loyal to the abstract concept of America before any one person, it serves as a safeguard of our rights, rather than denying them.
