Correct.Like it or not...America was founded on principles of God Given Human Rights and the control of government power.
While you may not believe in God, many do, and the Unted States of America was SOLIDLY founded on that belief.
Unfortunately, many do not believe in God. And some very wealthy and powerful people believe that neither God nor the Constitution will stand
in the way of their claim to power and control. As these claim a larger share and revoke more rights, the Constitutional answer is Militias.
But are we at a point where their rise and use is justified?
Are Militias the ONLY way to stop the over step of power and the dilution of Constitutional Rights?
Or.......
Should America simply allow the dilution and over step to continue until it is understood that the Constitution is meaningless and that those who grabbed power illegally are entitled to it?
Americans have suffered a countless barrage of Constitutional breaches and the incursions seem to be on the rise.
These affect not only Republicans, but democrats as well.
The Patriot Act for example give the government unConstitutional Powers over basic Rights enumerated in the Constitution.
Illegal Search and seizures and Warrantless searches have become widely accepted.
We are in fact losing our rights. Next up will be the Biden Administrations self proclaimed "duty" to make America "safe" by making
gun ownership very difficult if not impossible.
At what point are militias necessary to slow, stop or reverse these government grabs of power?
Or, are Militias simply outdated fantasies that have no place in the modern world?
So, the old Sovereign Citizen bullshit. Where anyone with a gun gets to decide what laws apply to them and what don't.
Ask Shay on what the Founders thought of that mindset.
The idiocy of the thread premise is that without some sort of consensus, any armed insurrection would be unlawful, un-Constitutional, and treasonous.
Insurrectionist dogma also runs counter to our republican form of government; the people do not express their will directly, they do so via their elected representatives – that’s why the Constitution doesn’t authorize referenda or plebiscites.
Not only is insurrectionist dogma not supported by the Second Amendment, it’s not even supported by the most fundamental tenets of our representative government.
Its the same old sovereign citizen bullshit, with gun toting thugs insisting that if they call themselves the 'militia', that they magically get to decide what laws are valid and which aren't. And can kill people to enforce their singular legal authority.
That was not, nor ever has been, the intent of the founders. And has no place in their laws....or ours. The founders defined only one law in the Constitution: treason. And it was war against the United States by her citizens.
If you wage war against the United States, it doesn't matter if you call yourself a 'militia', you're a traitor to the United States per the Constitution of the United States.
With Washington PERSONALLY leading the armies that put down rebellions that thought otherwise.
