The militias are on the march again: 'Million Man Militia' event planned in July

[Are_grits_groceries]

David Weigel at the Windy happened to catch the latest idea from the militiamen who are starting to see their paranoid ranks rising:

A peaceful demonstration of at least a million — hey, if we can 10 million, even better — but at least one million armed militia men marching on Washington. A peaceful demonstration. No shooting, no one gets hurt. Just a demonstration. The only difference from any typical demonstration is we will all be armed.

As Weigel says, lotsa luck getting a permit for that.

This would not end well.

no wonder the DHS is concerned.

2. Can you even walk around Washington DC with guns?

You sure can't do that in NY. I don't see this plan happening.

3. Now know why all the ammo is sold out.

You can't even find 22 ammunition right here in gun nut country.

4. I'm thinkin this is a BIG mistake for them! They'll never get a permit for it!

What the hell is their problem?

[Downtown Hound]

5. I say let them do it

Let them all gather in one place, a nice big crowd of them, a sea of stupid humanity all laid out for the world to see. And then drop a shitload of napalm on them. Take care of that problem in one fell swoop.

Heh, I'm just kidding. Maybe.

6. Just drop some firecrackers in their midst and see what happens. -nt-

10. Now, THAT'S funny !

:rofl:

7. Scary nuts. If FOX or any other right wing group promotes this

there needs to be an outcry from every sane person in this country to call them on it,loudly.

8. It's a win win situation for the militias.

If they don't get a permit, they can cry "fascism". :eyes:

[maxsolomon]

9. will they be regulated well?

no? then they're NOT A FREAKING MILITIA!

[DebbieCDC]

11. Oh like THAT is going to happen in DC

I lived there for 20 years and there is NO WAY you are going to get a permit for any number of armed people -- private citizens -- to march in the streets.

[RagAss]

12. Hey fellas....that Napalm burns !

[HillbillyBob]

13. I don't think anywhere besides maybe Texas, Colorado, Alaska, Wyoming

can you walk around armed without a local permit with a handgun.
In NC you have to have a Concealed carry permit, I don't think you can walk around with it in the open other than a hunting rifle.
I was told that Gander Mountain in Greensboro is out of nearly every kind of ammo, shotgun shells, .380, 22, 22 long, I forget. We had bought ammo prior to all the hooraw, not like we are armed for a war, just enough to keep the crazies out of our yard.
I think they are askin for President O to call out the guard if they think they can walk through Washington streets with firearms out in the open.

14. Will they be wearing their robes?
