Millitias and independent paramillitary training are Constitutional but the FBI thought some of the people doing it were a little too racist -

(Note how Idaho is one of the few states to have restrictions on both- likely because of the Ruby Ridge incident.)

Even based Texas fell victim to this- in 1987, 6 years before the Waco siege.

Here is a good article on this. http://constitution.org/mil/ustx_law.htm

Needless to say, this shit is super gay.

Backing extremist groups into a corner and making them go underground (so they're harder to monitor) is always a bad idea and I don't know why people haven't figured this out yet.

Thank you for the conspiracy theorist link, there's some vintage shit in there.

The constitution means what the government says it means. For more information, see: The continual chipping away of the 2nd amendment, the 4th being ignored when it's inconvenient, and the 14th being interpreted to mean literally whatever the fuck you want.

 

[Tranhuviya]

That's why we need militia training. So that the government can't just waltz in and take our rights away from us.

 

[Your Weird Fetish]

Kiwi militia when?

So I went to look at the Georgia code and could not find it.

I also would like to state that GA has an active state sponsored militia.

Georgia State Defense Force - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I then went to look up the Maryland code, and find that the code has been repealed.

I'm not sure just exactly what you are trying to say here. Could you clarify.

If you are trying to say the FBI does not recognize the constitutionality of militias then I would point out that they already got thier ass kicked via the Michigan militia.

Conspiracy charges dropped against Mich. militia

A federal judge dismissed the most serious charges Tuesday against seven members of a Michigan militia.

What is militia training besides guys going to the range on weekends?

 

[QU 734]

What is militia training besides guys going to the range on weekends?

Going innawoods, c-rations and pallets of .22 long.

He's trying to tell us that Lyndon Larouche was an American saint and his passing is mourned.

There's more to being a good soldier than that. Fieldcraft, for example.

 

[Lemmingwise]

Wait what does it matter if people are trained or not? I thought it was guns that killed people, not people!?

I'll assume the role of David Koresh

Can I substitute Minecraft for fieldcraft?

 

[Y2K Baby]

Why the fuck did I spell "militias" with two "l's" when I first made this.

 

[Y2K Baby]

Also, a sidenote, I was reading a book that said 17 states have enacted anti-paramillitary training laws and that book was published in 1990 so it's not like these were recent; they've been pretty consistent. Most of these laws were passed in 80's which is odd because the most egrigious acts of militia violence occured in the 90's (and that was when the militia movement had the most traction). Is there a correlation? Maybe.

Here is WY updated law:

19-8-104. Other organizations parading with arms prohibited; penalty.

(a) No group or assembly of persons other than the regularly organized national guard or the troops of the United States shall associate themselves together as a military company or organization, or parade in public with arms without license of the governor. No city or town shall raise or appropriate monies for arming, equipping, uniforming or in any way supporting, sustaining or providing drill rooms or armories for such group or assembly of persons.​

I want somebody to define 'military organization.' At what point does it move from a group of friends training out in the desert to an illegal military organization? Unit patch, uniforms, ranks? I wonder how hard it would be to obtain a licences from the governor's office. Now I really want a lolbertarian to bring a complaint alleging that PD SWAT teams are a military organizations violating this statue.

It's not really enforced at all so it doesn't really matter. Unless, of course, the Southern Poverty Law center wants to shit on some racists for the millionth time. Then it's illegal.

 

[Emperor Julian]

So are any of these militia groups viable combat units or are they just a bunch of cranks living out in the woods?
