Around the country, evidence accumulates of a return of the militias and the larger antigovernment 'Patriot' movement
Quote:
Almost a decade after largely disappearing from public view, right-wing militias, ideologically driven tax defiers and sovereign citizens are appearing in large numbers around the country.
After the Ruby Ridge and Waco fiasco of the 1990's, there is a second wave of right wing extremism coalescing in this country, and while I'm not entirely against U.S. citizens uniting for a common cause, it is interesting to know what the motivation is behind the second wave of far right wing unity.
Do you believe it is beneficial to the nation to have community based militias in order to challenge or subvert government tyranny?
I have always believed we should lower the active duty military, lower the national guard members, and have local militias of volunteer community members.
Use the military to maintain a technological advantage over other countries, but we don't need the standing army we have. We shouldn't be fighting foreign wars without provocation (I agree with Afghanistan before someone says something about that). In case of a real attack, and the need to invade, institute a draft, train the soldiers, and ramp up the military machine that is America.
Its worked in the past, I see no reason why it wouldn't work in the future.

You know there's community militias already operating outside of the law - they are very territorial and tend to shoot people who they don't see as being affiliated with their gang. Yes, I'm talking about street gangs.

But they are out to defend their turf. The militias are the patriots out to save the white race and defend against communism.

I'm talking about an organized local agency thing. Sort of like a local police department, they would answer to the city, county, and state that they live in. However, they wouldn't be able to be accessed by the Federal government unless the state agrees to release them, or War is declared by congress, and a draft is instituted.
They could have regular army personel in charge of training, and there for leadership. This is similar to how the minute man militias used to be set up. That is the type of militia I am in favor of, not the white supremacists, and not gangs.
The Bill of Rights was amended to the constitution to prevent abuse and misconstruction (the founders' words in the preamble) of the original constitution. In other words, the well-regulated militia was called for so they could kill anybody from inside the beltway who was intent on abusing or misconstruing the constitution. As in "enemies foreign and domestic", like heckuvajob Brownie. The founders had seen no Hitler at work, but they thought of it as a possibility and wrote the second amendment as a safeguard against such things.
