It seems like the democrats are not happy with this program, but they may not be able to stop the formation of a well regulated armed militia.
MINEOLA, Long Island (PIX11) — The Nassau County Executive is pressing ahead with his plan to create a group of armed special sheriff’s deputies to be used in the event of an emergency.

He said the first 25 civilians could be ready to deploy in an emergency as early as late May.

It comes even as outcry against the plan grows, including a large protest outside the County Government building on Monday.

A few hundred gathered on the steps of the county seat in Mineola. The protesters accuse Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman of creating his own militia– to be called up only when he deems there’s an emergency.

“Whose command will this militia be under? How much coordinating with the police will they do? How much training will they get? Will they be given other weapons when they are activated?” posed a spokeswoman for the Nassau County Civil Liberties Union.

It was one of many groups represented at the event organized by Nassau Democrats.

sounds like a "posse" or police auxiliary to me. every locality should have one to call up as required.

a lot depends on what they are used for and how "well regulated" they may be.

are they "sworn?" are they loyal to the nation and the county? or to a person or "non gov't organization? "
 
If a militia group is sanctioned by the county sheriff then it's GTG.....Whining notwithstanding.

In most sane places they are grateful for any extra help that can be called upon though most just keep things on the down-low.

It can be as simple as a certified letter being sent to the sheriff informing him of the formation. The sheriff can then choose to get as involved as he/she deems.

i'd like the sheriff to be more actively involved, but sure.
 
Just about all counties have "police reserves" or "sheriff's reserves". You could call them "militia" but the 2nd Amendment has been upheld and settled in a dozen S.C. decisions and the "militia" argument is old and tired and doesn't have to be defended.

revisiting this thread it almost looks like , with proper guidelines, we all pretty much support this idea.

did you see this similar story from maine?

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A bill to restrict paramilitary training in Maine in response to a neo-Nazi who wanted to create a training center for a “blood tribe” was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Janet Mills on Friday.

The law, which the governor signed without public comment, allows the attorney general to file for a court injunction to stop paramilitary training that’s intended to sow civil disorder — and to bring charges that carry a penalty of up to a year in jail.

Rep. Laurie Osher of Orono introduced the bill after a prominent neo-Nazi and white supremacist, Christopher Pohlhaus, sought to set up a training center on property that he ultimately sold before carrying out the plan.

“I welcome people to come to Maine and live here and work hard and make Maine a better place. But I’m not welcoming of people who want to make Maine a white ethno-state,” Osher, a Democrat, said Friday evening. “This bill is making it clear that anyone who has that intent is not welcome to do that here.”

i'm sufficiently troubled, constitutionally by this, but you really can't have a hostile armed force stationed in your state?

Might be a little late for that - Maine is 94.8% white; the Asian population almost equals that of the black population.

and most of that 94 odd percent are hard working law abiding persons who do not necessarily want a hostile army to occupy their state.

there are plenty of good white people and a great number of good christians.

not all are deplorable alt right dead enders like anyone who claims to be a "neo nazi"
 
Are people anti gun or anti the wrong people with a gun?

Just that in the UK, we don't focus on banning guns, we just try to make sure the unsuitable don't get to buy/use a gun.
/—-/ Communist countries do the same. Only the military and secret police get guns. Ordinary citizens are the unsuitable ones.
 
Your guns are controlled too. We also have a system that checks your background to see if you're suitable. You're a yank, so your knowledge of the gun debate is binary and piss poor. And being drunk doesn't help.
Suitable according to standards set by your GOVERNMENT, not by the people. You can be denied the privilege of owning any weapon at the sole discretion of the government without the right to appeal to an independent body. You don't have rights; you have privileges that can be revoked at any time for any reason by your rulers.

"Well Regulated"

If these people were "well regulated," that is responsible for accounting for and securing their weapons, half the shootings in this country would simply disappear.
