The only well-regulated militia in the United States has issued a desperate call for members after discovering gun owners are oddly reluctant to join it.
Supporter of the constitution Simon-Bob Williams formed the militia and laid down strict regulations for members to follow so fellow patriots could follow the vision of the founding fathers, only to be disappointed when the expected flood of recruits failed to materialise.
Describing his regulations as tough but fair, Simon-Bob said that he expected members to maintain a decent level of physical fitness, be courteous at all times, and not let their children play with their guns.
Right now its just me and my family, he told us.
And to be fair theyre only coming along because its dad-time and theyd never really see me otherwise.
All those guys out there are really vocal about their constitutional rights, so where are they? I was hoping the local NRA chapter would all join on the spot, but when I called in they called me a freak and told me to get out.

Hehehe. Satire is always when it is as close as close can be to reality

that if you buy a gun, you give permission to be drafted?

(39,171 posts)5. Why would gun owners want to join a militia?
It has nothing to do with gun ownership. I got my fill of the military during my 20 years of service - I just want to spend time at the range poking holes in paper targets.

(39,171 posts)7. I know. Many here take the underlying idea as true.
Don't you think the author, like many here at DU, thinks the 2A limits guns to the militia?
