Anyone should be able to "militarize". The only reason to disarm anyone is if they're an immediate threat. Can't punish people for something they might do.
This is a terrible idea for so many reasons. Hopefully it doesn't hold up in court. Religious institutions should not be allowed to militarize in this country. This is a first step towards a real theocracy and that should concern everyone. The word "theocracy" is thrown around quite a bit but I think this is firmly over the line and in my opinion, the most direct threat to separation of church and state we've seen in recent history.
Wonder how a V for Vendetta type society could happen? This is how.
Constitutional under the 2nd amendment. a Well Regulated Militia.
I don't see how a church protecting its own private property can force you to behave in a certain matter, however the govt sure can and does.
This could lead to that. At minimum, it will lead to cover-ups of sex scandals and abuse, which happen way too often in certain types of churches. Research Jack Schaap of First Baptist of Hammond, Indiana.
As usual, silence from the band of posters who think refugees will destroy Western society by creating a religious theocracy. It's happening right now, but it gets a pass because the people implementing it are white and have a big "R" in front of their names.
When one is ignorant on the subject, the thing to do is falsely play the race card. The loony left doesn't learn.
Onward Christian Soldiers. This could shape up to be a real problem. The church is in line to receive benefits from our taxes even though they pay none. Watch the Supreme Court. It'll be on their agenda soon.

The argument that it can be used to cover crimes has been the case at Universities.........but......the argument standing alone does not make for a good one. It's been shown that police forces in general have been used to cover crimes.
Many schools now have police officers stationed in them. I am NO fan of that but it is what it is. A private school shouldn't get the same protection?
