The “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act” is being introduced by Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts




Considering the history of militias in the states, and the key role Massachusetts played in their organization, this guy is an absolute disgrace to his state and our country’s history.

What’s the difference between an armed mob and a well regulated militia?

I mean… it’s right there. And no “well regulated” does not equate to “oversight by congress”.

A constitutional right like the right to peaceably assemble?

All of the most despicable politicians and policies have their roots in New England something is seriously rotten up there. Guess what frickers? If we’re starting a militia we don’t care if it’s illegal or not

Maybe not Congress, but a well regulated militia is subordinate to the civil authority (usually the governor) and has an established command structure.

You and your friends drilling with rifles in the woods is not well regulated, and not protected.

How is it not?
Woods. Speech. Assembly. 1st and 2nd amendments. Do we need a permit to stand in a straight line? To learn how to shoot?

Assembly

Peaceable assembly is protected, I don’t think armed assembly is. That goes back to what is an armed mob.

The government wants to outlaw the preparedness to overthrow the government should it become necessary? Say it isn’t so!

IKR? Joe Biden already said insurgents would need f-15s to have a chance.

with the number of foreign nationals flooding the border, its something to consider. We need more militias, not less at this point in history.
