The CEO of a Tennessee company that specializes in weapons and tactical training is threatening to "start killing people" if President Barack Obama moves forward with gun control measures.

In a video posted to YouTube and Facebook on Wednesday, Tactical Response CEO James Yeager went ballistic over reports that the president could take executive action with minor gun control measures after the mass shooting of 20 school children in Connecticut last month.

After the Drudge Report likened Obama to Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin on Wednesday, pro-gun conservatives expressed outrage over the idea that the White House could act without Congress.

"Vice President [Joe] Biden is asking the president to bypass Congress and use executive privilege, executive order to ban assault rifles and to impose stricter gun control," Yeager explained in his video message. "Fuck that."

"I'm telling you that if that happens, it's going to spark a civil war, and I'll be glad to fire the first shot. I'm not putting up with it. You shouldn't put up with it. And I need all you patriots to start thinking about what you're going to do, load your damn mags, make sure your rifle's clean, pack a backpack with some food in it and get ready to fight."

The CEO concluded: "I'm not fucking putting up with this. I'm not letting my country be ruled by a dictator. I'm not letting anybody take my guns! If it goes one inch further, I'm going to start killing people."

As The Atlantic noted on Wednesday, gun advocates can stop "freaking out" because Obama cannot ban assault weapons or close the gun show loophole without Congress.

The president, however, can take small steps like modernizing the background check system and limiting importation of assault rifles.

By Thursday morning, the video promising violence in response to gun control measures had been removed from Yeager's YouTube page, but the link had not been removed from Facebook.

Calls to Yeager and Tactical Response were not returned by the time of publication.

A conservative radio host on Wednesday warned Fox News that President Barack Obama was "becoming more like Hugo Chavez all the time" and that any effort to control guns in the wake of the Newtown massacre would be "like Nazi Germany."

Vice President Joe Biden, who is heading up a task force on gun violence, told reporters on Wednesday that the president was likely to take executive action in response to the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, but he did not give specifics.

"There are executives orders, there's executive action that can be taken," the vice president said. "We haven't decided what that is yet. But we're compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action that we believe is required."

The onservative website Drudge Report soon was blaring the headline, "WHITE HOUSE THREATENS 'EXECUTIVE ORDERS' ON GUNS" -- accompanied by photos of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.

And within hours, Larson was bringing the Nazi Germany reference to Fox News viewers.

"If he does executive orders, he's becoming more like Hugo Chavez all the time," Larson insisted. "Under [Sen. Diane] Feinstein's bill -- which has now been introduced -- if the president plans to go that way, everybody in America who owns one of the guns on the list will be required to go in and give up fingerprints, mug shot, be entered into a database."

"It will be, '[give us] your papers please,' like Nazi Germany," he continued. "We're going to register everybody then you won't be allowed to transfer that gun... So that the day that grandpa dies and you don't know that he's got an AR-15 locked up in his safe and the police come for whatever reason and discover it there, the family is guilty of possessing a gun and possession of which is a felony."

Larson also worried that any effort to strengthen mental health checks would mean that "any person in America who's on any kind of prescription pharmaceutical -- Xanax, Prozac, lithium -- loses his Second Amendment rights."

"If you go to see a doctor or marriage counselor and say, 'Our marriage isn't working out well, we yell at each other a lot.' And the marriage counselor says, 'Well, there go your Second Amendment rights.'"

A former Marine says that an Democrats are like murderous dictator Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler's Third Reich because they are pushing to ban assault weapons in the wake of the recent slaughter of 20 elementary school students with a Bushmaster AR-15 in Connecticut.

In a letter to Sen. Diane Feinstein last year, retired Corporal Joshua Boston vowed not to register his AR-15 assault rifle because "I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one."

"I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America," Boston wrote. "I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American."

Fox News host Steve Doocy spoke to Boston on Monday after his letter went viral on the Internet.

"I think you -- like a lot of people, Joshua -- are worried that the federal government is going to come after our guns," Doocy observed.

"It's something we've seen happen time and time again in history," Boston explained. "With Stalin, it happened in Cambodia and then, of course, the Third Reich. No one saw that coming until it was too late."

The former Marine warned that gun-free zones made schools "a hunting ground for the predators in our society."

"Sure, and I believe that Sandy Hook Elementary was a gun-free zone and we know what happened there," Doocy agreed.
