[BeoBill]

Bill To Kill Militias
Ratskin's bill in the House. This may go nowhere, but worth keeping an eye on.

Does much more than advertised.

I wonder who gets to decide what qualifies as unlawful activity?

Big Brother does. 1984 was supposed to be a warning...the Democrats use it as a playbook and road map.

When the govt begins to seriously worry about a citizens' militia being formed, you can be reasonably sure that the govt is the direct cause.

 

[TheOriginalMexicanBob]

“When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.” Credited to Thomas Jefferson but no proof has been found he actually said it.

Still...the quote is accurate. That's why those in power want to make sure no one can defy them. The Democrat Party...and some Republicans...have been acting that way for many years.

I never envisioned myself going contra to law because of how I was raised. The older I get and the more the tyrants push tyranny.....

Senate version submitted by Ratskin. Of course.

So as the 2nd amendment gives the right to keep and bear arms. What defines a militia is the quest....
Is it two or more at the range? Is it a gun club? Is it a hunting club?

When the NRA was formed in 1871. Our gov was behind it and promoted civilian gun training. The DCM, (Division of Civilian Marksmanship) Loaned my club 10 m1 Garands, 10 m1 Carbines, and 10 Colt 45's. They recalled the 45's after Kenedy was shot.
During Clinton Admin, The M1's were offerd for sale as they were turning the DCM into a profit center.

Now things have changed. The program was a success and many civilians now are shooters. However, gov has changed its direction ,
they are discouraging folks from gun ownership.

So are they now preventing private groups from gun ownerships. Is gov now wanting disarm rather then have a civilian force ready to help defend the country?

Does this apply to BLM protesters?

 

[Mark75H]

I see this as violation of 1 & 2, both guaranteeing us the specific right to specifically form private militia

I don’t view this as a second amendment issue. The Constitution via the 1A guarantees freedom of assembly. This clearly is at odds with that guarantee.

It's hard to argue with your logic, but since when have legislatures cared about the masses constitutional rights.

Usually about the time the tar and feathers are flying through the air.

Unfortunately that is no longer acceptable behavior in these more modern times.
