34. Militias are not synonmous with violence
Mon Jan 25, 2016, 10:42 AM
Jan 2016

The people who are associating militia with violence are incorrect and need to go back and do some research. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a group of people exercising their 2nd amendment rights who think differently than 3% and other militias out there that believe the black lives matter movement is so covert army for Muslims...(an actual belief by some oathkeepers). A militia is not about over throwing the government or going around causing havoc. Its about people with like minded goals coming together to uphold the constitution and make sure that our liberties are not trampled. I do not trust my government as you can see, cops are killing people of color left and right and no one is being held accountable. You want me to put my trust in them to protect me and my rights? WOW I support you erroneousmaximus and anyone else that shares your point of view. We need to do it ASAP. Until then the liberal gun club is what I plan to join. I do not have the time nor patience to try and start one from scratch.
