I wish they'd stop calling them 'militias'. Call them what they are Heavily armed gangs.

[Nexus2]

Underneath the paramilitary trappings and patriotic hot air.

[soothsayer]

1. Domestic terrorists

[SheltieLover]

2. This!👆

[doc03]

4. That is what they are Domestic Terrorists nt

[BlueMTexpat]

8. Absolutely this!

[dalton99a]

9. +1

[IHaveNoName]

11. Yep, that's exactly what they are.

And they're egged on by the Domestic-Terrorist-in-Chief.

[Tom Rinaldo]

3. Or Private Armies, like they have in Libya and Lebanon n/t

[Alpeduez21]

5. If they were African American or Hispanic

they wouldn't be considered militia. The racism is strong in the media

[Cartaphelius]

6. As they are NOT "well regulated"

a constitutionally defined requirement establishing which
groups qualify for such designation as a "militia".

Until they meet the constitutional definition of a "militia"
they are nothing more than heavily armed haters.
Determined to imposing their will on a majority with
the assistance of right wing ideologues and their openly
brandishing of weapons of war at peaceful protests.

They, like the president they support, are nothing more
than TRAITORS to the America we grew up with
and deserve the treatment afforded to TRAITORS.

Guantanamo has sufficient vacancies to accommodate
all of the republican party and most of the gun-toting
"ghosts" of a confederacy that was destroyed but not
allowed to slip away into history.

7. Also, you're not protected by "the right of the people peaceably to assemble" when you bring guns.

[Cartaphelius]

10. Excellent point Towlie

seems that the indigenous population of terrorists
neglected to understand the historical import of
the American intended end to dictatorships, authoritarianism
and totalitarianism all of which serves to protect the
criminals and criminally insane, (i.e., sociopaths and
psychopaths).
