Now that the Democrats/communists have decided to ban citizen militias, H.R. 6981 and Senate bill S. 3589, probably as a requirement from the CCP prior to their intended uprising within the U.S., it might be time to take a realistic look at citizen militias. First of all, the law identifies these “citizen militias” as any time three or more people gather with the purpose of tactical training or training in the use of guns as an illegal “citizen militia.” That wipes out all sorts of gun safety programs right there. How would that benefit anyone except a foreign power intent on invasion? It was the level of gun ownership in America that has dissuaded nations, like Japan, from considering an invasion in the past. Why take that away?
The House bill has 12 co-sponsors - all D's, of course - and the sponsor is Jamie Raskin from Maryland, of whom you might have heard - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDFNEsoO1K4
It's been in committee since 11 January, no action taken, no hearings held.
The Senate bill has one co-sponsor, a California Democrat, and the sponsor is Ed Markey, Democrat from Massachusetts. It's been in committee since 16 January, no action taken, no hearings held.
Probably the House version is designed for a campaign fundraiser, because it's going nowhere, not this session. Same case for the Senate version. Of course, they both bear watching.
This is part of the Media Narrative/Legal nexus. "Militia" is a loaded (heh) word already.
There are no militias, but there is a threat of militias. There is no White supremacy, but there is a threat of the creme supreme. There is no far right extremism, racisms, etc. but there are institutional resources tasked toward all this straw. Its all on the mews every night.
The drafting of these sorts of white paper legislation pieces seems to serve a number of purposes, not the least of which is for certain swamp people to generate name recognition while bolstering the Narrative and its lexicon, and media presence.
The Official Truth has a long development pipeline. These things accrue toward that long game of shaping how people think about fundamental matters and position the Power to be able to respond if and when the situation arises.
These sorts of things don't have to become Law to be dangerous but are valuable in the framing of the moral primacy of the occupiers as well as becoming the raw material for future put options and soft power accruing to the administrative state who will be ultimately tasked with enforcement.
Which these days is largely within the matrix of social and economic levers. And should "something bad happen" with some fedasset wearing the right symbols, well then suddenly they go back into the deep stacks and dust off these things that become law on a Friday night.
Like tax "law", 2A infringements, and the constellation of "hate"/speech and growing online censorship movement, these things are designed to be dragnets to effectively indict large swaths of dissidents or badthinkers, while leaving the hammer cocked until sometime when it can be dropped.
Or not.
The power of that option hanging over swaths of badthinkers necks is in its discretion; its potential, and the subsequent incremental negotiation, compromise, and risk-aversion, self-censoring etc. that arises under that shadow. Think "register your pistol brace now or risk very bad things later" or "you lied to the FBI".
That threatpoint and building up a labyrinth of expensive, ambiguous, arbitrarily enforced lawfare is insurmountable for average citizens. It is a means to sort out the potential actual threats to the power as well as subvert and subdue those who don't want to risk their comforts, normalcy, etc.
This is the insidious nature of tyranny as it inserts itself not just into our daily lives but into our very thoughts and potential actions well into the future. Creating "red lines" that you may or may not know you have already crossed.
This, coupled with the pincer of asset forfeiture, existing Anti-"terror" banking/financial law, anti-hate, and de facto social credit of being canceled/blackballed from your career, income, ability to transact, move money, move physically (no fly list) for running afoul on the social front, which is entirely under their purview, is a lot of power that is not reflected in these sorts of things becoming "Law".
All this is why the Constitution is dead letter. There are Jan6 citizens who are in this very grinder still.
Things are diffidently all FUBAR'd. Regardless if those bills are still docked in committee it still is a tell of what the Democrats want and may actually get should they hold both houses of congress with the Dementia Patient still in the WH. Over a dozen AGs in the process of suing Glock over an illegal device sent into the US by China that, when installed, turns a Glock into a machine pistol. Why not sue China? Don't want to upset the paymaster, I guess. Over $700M to be funded through the DOJ to entice more states into enacting unconstitutional 'red flag' laws . At the same time an Obama appointed DEI hire judge rules its legal for illegals to own firearms! Every Democrat in the senate voted down an amendment that would have unfunded Biden's secret flights of illegals into the country. Can you believe it? Why would an American have down that? It remains to be seen how that bridge disaster in Baltimore will be parlayed into more chaos and stress for Americans. Remember, "let no crisis go to waste"! Just look at how many are putting all their hopes into yet another election. "Oh, but it will be different this time" they think. No it won't!
The US government and the governments in California committed hostile acts against me and my family during the Covid Panic. No militia stopped that. No National Guard troops or Sheriffs, or Boy Scouts stood up against the Draconian Covid Edicts in California.
Everyone, well almost everyone (77%) in my county went along with the Covid Edicts. They've all been jabbed at least twice.
The illegals don't have to be jabbed. They don't need passports or IDs. They are freer than I am.
American society is insane. 32 million Federal employees. That's bigger than most states.
I suppose us kids getting together with our .22 rifles to shoot rats down at the grain silos on the RR tracks would be considered a militia today.
This raises an issue that has long been heavy on my mind... I. e., can a statutory law pased in Congress override the Constitution, THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND???
Personally, I think not. The Constitution clearly expected a militia presence in the states. The Bill of Rights is a charter of NEGATIVE RIGHTS, what the central gov't SHALL NOT DO.
It's the habit of tyrants to try to negate or circumvent the clear meaning and restrictions of the Constitution, but no one objects. No one references the Constitution and says, "NO way. You don't have the authority to do that. BACK OFF".
So... You can't abolish the Electoral College, or transfer authority over elections to the fedgov, or restrict the right to bear arms, abrogate any 1st Amendment liberties, etc, without a Constitutional Amendment. It is the ONLY PRESCRIBED WAY.
And yet Dems try to do this ALL THE TIME AND no one stands up. Obergefell MADE NO LAW, the SC acted ONLY as the ultimate court of appeal to a lawsuit that came up through the courts. Therefore it's opinion/ruling was binding ONLY ON THE PARTIES TO THE LAWSUIT...NO ONE ELSE. But did any state AG stand up for his state, and clearly state this? The SC has no authority to make law, therefore the ruling MADE NO LAW.
In fact, it's my view that not even a Declaration of federal Martial Law can restrict or obviate the rights described and codified in the Constitution. They are ours, given by God, and no inferior power can legitimately take them away.
My point being that we are going to have to stand up for our constitutional rights, and right soon. Draw the line for our right to militias, free speech, citizen grand juries, trial by jury, due process (outlawing ex-parte procedures), etc. Our state AGs must be educated and instructed not to adopt and SC rulings/opinions that are not constitutionally binding on our states.
Three people make a militia? Buhwaahhaha! Does that mean the ANTIFA goons are going to jail? Somehow I don't see that happening.
It's usually a good thing to look up the bills before you go off on half-cock:
The House bill - https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/6981
and
the Senate bill - https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/3589

Illegals have 2A rights now?
Keep your powder dry.
