If fascist white supremacists want to train in the woods on how to overthrow the government, you better believe the government is going to try to stop it. Does that even need to be said?
Again, the underlying conduct they're trying to restrict is legal. It's not illegal to call for the overthrow of the government. It's not illegal to own weapons. It's not illegal to gather on private property and participate in training drills. By your own statements, the justification for regulating this kind of conduct is simply the political viewpoints of the participants. This is clearly viewpoint discrimination, which the Supreme Court has routinely found to violate the First Amendment. I don't think this is a Second Amendment issue as much as it is a First Amendment one.

It is if ity's a call to violently overthrow the government.
The fact is that I don't really have a strong opinion on whether or not groups of people should be able to drill as a militia.
What I do have a strong opinion on is that I don't want fascist white supremacist paramilitary militias training in the woods on how to conduct an armed overthrow of the government just because their man didn't get elected.
Let me be clear, I don't even want marxist black supremacist paramilitary militias training in the woods on how to overthrow the government. But there aren't any of those posting on this board.
And you keep talking about what is and isn't legal currently, but the whole point of the thread is discussing what may or may not be legal in the future. And I'm here to tell you that the government will move against fascist white supremacist paramilitary militias training in the woods on how to conduct an armed overthrow of the government. And they will do so in a lawful manner.
