Do you also think that the Republicans will allow the Democrats to pass such a law? Do the American people consider that their troops have killed many children in both Iraq and Afghanistan who were also innocent children. I am very sorry that these young children have died but there are stupid people everywhere. We cannot rule out the fact that some people have brainstorms triggered by oftentimes by things we consider as trivialities. Kenneth Eames.
I am going to reply to this particular post due to the multiple questions contained within.
First, the "militia" in the U.S. is already labeled as a "fringe lunitic movement". Most people avoid contact or association with anything that hints as militia.
The present "militia" is a group of scatterbrained goofballs. Some have military experience but none that I am aware of have "leadership experience".
Knowing how to shoot and knowing how to plan an opration are two distintly seperate activities. Knowing how to plan large scale operations is beyond the training and capabilities of most of the NCO types that populate these movements. As a former officer I would not serve under any militia member I "suspect" I have ever encountered.
A completely seperate and true resistance movement would have to arise. One containing people with sense enough to keep their mouths shut, stay off the internet, stay off their phones, stay out of the media focus and operate in actual secrecy. Militia that no one knows is there, as it were.
House to house search would occur with "probable cause" gained from rewarded informants. That is the way drug busts are done here now. Since the subjects are now "lawless home grown terrorists" they will be considered outside the normal legal system. Our "Patriot Laws" allow for suspension of habius corpus and any other constitutional protection if the "terrorist" label is used. Our nation is polarized and stupid. Half will believe they got what they diserved, half will be silently outraged and wait for the knock on their own door.
Our entire nation will resemble a prairie dog town as people scramble to bury thousands of firearms hoping the satalites and drones do not pick up their actions.
As for the slaughter of innocents by troops around the world, that is actually a theological matter. Our government has promoted the dismissal of religion for many years, substituting the worship of government as the highest power. If government is the highest power then it can do not wrong. Killing of thousands by the government, or as an agent of the government, is therefore justified and retribution against evil.
The killing of a single individual committed without government approval is a crime against the authority of the government.
Politically, our nation is in upheaval right now. Our two party system almost insures that periodically one party will overwhelm the other and impose its will, no matter how preverted. In those cases a majority of one controls the world and can detirmine the fate of the entire population. This occurrs about every 50 years, with the continued erosion of our Constitutional protections in each instance.
I have personally withdrawn from any party affiliation at this point, I am now an Independent. Neither group is capable of representing and protecting my views, which are not radical in any way.
The past election was not based on political theory, on human rights or on issues of actual consciquence, it was based on fantacy economics focused on class struggle. It was total emotion and manipulation of the masses. And so is this present move against firearms ownership.
The Republicans are fighting "don't you want to protect the children?" at this point. They will be played out a ogres if they oppose any legislation presented too them. This is how every one of our gun control laws has been passed. Extreme legislaton presented immidiately after a tragic incident. Normally the legislation has little focus on the actual event or anything that created or assisted it.
As for sucession? That is a matter much in focus over here. The government says it is illigal, but what would one expect the government to say. Every rebellion, justified or not, is illigal.
And not every justified rebellion is successful. Just ask the Scotts.
