Time to organize a Militia?

Postby Josh189 on Thu Dec 20, 2012 7:59 pm

If gun confiscation comes up from Crazy Joe, I think it may be time to organize something to fight against the Gov, and keep America Free. Anyone thought about this scenario or am I jumping the gun?

I'm pretty sure MN has anti militia laws.

If it were the right course of action, posting on the internet about it would not be a good idea.

Yeah, you have to send letter sealed with wax by horse to the commander of said militia, long coat tails add zest and a hint of seriousness to said rider.

I know where you're line of thinking is, but as a country that time has come and gone.

I doubt it would survive a constitutional challenge, as the right to bear arms and the right to assemble shouldn't be mutually exclusive, but the statute in question is 624.61 - Armed Association
It shall not be lawful for any body of persons, other than the National Guard, troops of the United States and, with the consent of the governor, sons and daughters of veterans and cadets of educational institutions where military science is taught, to associate themselves together as a military company with arms, but members of social and benevolent organizations are not prohibited from wearing swords. Any violation of this section shall be a misdemeanor.

That's pretty funny. :mrgreen:

Not having seen any news today until a bit ago, I noticed that there isn't any mention of gun control on the front page. Wrench mentioned that it wasn't on the national or local news this evening either. However Arnzen Arms and the Gunstop were like dollar days at Target. Again, it looked like folks filling out a NICS for the first time. The walls at Arnzen's that held AR type guns a few days ago are nearly bare. Larry still had a few, but I'm starting to wonder where in the hell he stored them. The man has been squirrelling away guns forever!

Who knows maybe this is the boost that the economy needs!

If you're going to go old school. I'd suggest a cannon and a catapult is you have the room.

Exactly.

If that day ever came, it would be a bad, bad idea to post about it on the Internet. Or to communicate with your smart phones. Or anything too technologically advanced.

Of course, in that day, I still won't be involved. I'm more likely to turn pirate (albeit an honest one) rather than rebel or freedom fighter.

I think the quote is something like this:

"When you get mad as hell, and grab your rifle and run out into the street...if there's no one else out there, it's not time yet!"









It's not time yet. Write/email your reps...all of them...even the AntiGun ones. Let them know their constituents are watching them.
Nothing to see here. Continue swimming.
