General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Some questions for 2A gunnutters and Originalists [View all]who is it that has the authority to call up and then train this minute-man style militia? The governor? the local sheriff?
Ammon Bundy? Whose authority would you personally answer to muster up? I think all of this has already been long established in the National Guard.
I know this isn't a satisfying answer to those thinking in terms of some eventual armed resistance against Tyranny, but the Minute Man tactic is a guarantee of friendly fire casualties and rapid failure. Even the Confederacy had a better plan, although doomed to failure anyway.
If I ask myself whose call would I answer to muster up into a militia I really can't think of a single soul. Not for a lack of patriotism, but for a lack of trust in steely eyed bullshitters like Wayne LaPierre, the 3%ers, Oathkeepers and the others who want so badly to make me Well Regulated under their nonexistant authority.
You dont need to answer me, but I hope you consider who it is that you would trust to send you into combat against the US military.
