Has anybody spoken about starting to form some sort of organizations for the SHTF day on gun control? I know there are some already out there called preppers, but I find most of them a little off. I would gladly follow someone like Allen West, but I'm not to keen about following some produce manager down at WalMart. We need to start vetting our local ex military, Oath Keepers, or cops so we don't end up in total chaos on day one.
How many think it may wake the pols up that we are serious or it may piss them off even more? I remember Waco and Janet Reno using militia's as a whipping boy. OTOH, we might put the fear of God in them if a wide movement started. A good start might be some sort of Tea Party connection to get members quickly. Sorta like putting out a trial balloon. If the movement flops, at least we would know we are on our own. I just don't want to wait till the last minute. It's too late then.
It would be a good idea to know who our friends are and who the enemy is before the firestorm. Also, plans to block off the city you live in would help with food distribution and other strategic plans.
Comments?
Express lane to the watch list?
Express lane to the (or a) watch list?
No apostrophe needed. To form the plural - just add s. i.e. militias.
The militia movement, and most likely the Patriot movement, is thoroughly infiltrated by the government. They know who’s who, they got ‘em on a list, and they’ll take ‘em out with a Hellfire missile or a Barret .50 shot from half a mile away when they’re going to store to pick up some bacon and Cheez Wiz.
Hell, I’d bet you a militia movement meeting is a bunch of FBI agents standing around trying to figure out who the real militia member is, and who’s the other FBI agent.
Militia’s what?
What is it that belongs to a militia did you forget to put in the title?

You are a friend or you are a foe.

Pix start somewhere in the middle of the thread.
They pretend to be a “shooting group”.

So you think they don't have your yellow form for your AR15 from 1997?
If the SHTF, they will already have a list when they come to your town. You have to start somewhere.
Bad link
Probably true, but you have to start somewhere. I'm really speaking of starting new ones comprised of people we know.
Spelling Nazi’s won’t be allowed in my militia. Anal people lose sight of the objective.
Your tag line explains a lot.

People that do not learn from past mistakes and repeat them again after receiving accurate counsel are liabilities and thus, are not welcome in mine.
P.S. it’s Nazis. again - no apostrophe. Good luck in your recruiting efforts.
Its a fair bet almost every single militia has either FBI agents inside, drones outside and a constant surveillance of who logs on to their web sites, on their property or associations.
Avoid any militia save your own.
Do not follow the Judas goats.
I could say some may be totally free and are well positioned to join.
But I for one prefer to the man that can disappear in a crowd of two.
Would submit that they have the re-education camps in the planning for those who object, as well as plenty of body bags in inventory for Homeland Security for those who fight back.
I hope we are not like Germany in 1935 right now, but O has nasty ambitions for us thanks to Hitler, Alinsky, Stalin, etc.
If you try to start a militia, I can guarantee you that at least 2 of the members will be government agents.
Oh Jeez,
Let’s all play WACKAMOLE!
This probably is a really bad forum to air such things.
OTOH, your corner tavern is always a hotbed of political activity with one really good feature, you know who your neighbors are and which ones ate the fedgov ratz.
Dude google the official militia in your state and join that. Thats what they are for. SHTF stuff!!
Sorry dude, spelling errors lead to miscommunication. Miscommunication leads to confusion. And on the battle field, that can be fatal.
The correct use of language is as important as any weapon you field.
“Whatever” doesn’t work AT ALL. BureaKaRatz have an expression: “close enough for government work.” And it explains why Ratz eff things up beyond all recognition.
Spelling IS important.
I belong to this "miitia" along with my wife and daughter, but we are outnumbered 100 to one. We are losing,(IMHO, we have already lost) our country. Time for political action is fading and the time for real action is very near. I don't know where that invisible line is, but one has to know it is closing in quickly. I know many friends and family that will not be pleasant when the door is kicked in and their guns are removed.
Very good. Would you please add me to your ping list?
I saw that, too. I wish I had a dime for every time I see that mistake.
Better to have everyone at first acting on their own, randomly blowing chit up.
Death to all misplaced apostrophes!!
Now that I've got that out of the way, I'll go read your post. Looks like a good one.
I guess you'd know, having high-tailed it out of the country to 'safe' ground.
You're not standing here with your ass on the line like the rest of us, so your opinion is worth approximately zero. Especially given the fact that you appear to be trying to frighten people away from organizing.
There is only one militia per state in these United States of America. The organizational breakdown then is typically by county, and therein by town.
For many years in our history, “the town militia” would drill on some weekend of a month, and thus demonstrate as well remain refreshed in being well-trained to Arms.
A militia unit may muster for drill and training, but it has no power to exercise martial power, unless authorized by the town’s duly-elected legislative body (typically a town council), or at the county level (the county’s duly-elected legislative body, whatever is its legal name), or at the state - the state legislature.
*Only* a duly-elected legislative body has the power within a state, to authorize the exercise of martial power.
This does not prevent you from forming a gun association, gun club, and/or gun organization, within which you may drill and train and even “play at” soldiering ... but again, such an association has no authority to exercise martial power.
If you are dedicated to upholding liberty, and you seek to reinforce the ability of the people of your state, to resist government tyranny, or there is a matter of urgency regarding the common defense of your town, or of your county, or of your state, you certainly, can petition one of the aforementioned government jurisdictions, or the sheriff, to Call for The Muster.
Now, if you do that, and the Call for The Muster goes out, then you are have taken on a military obligation to be present and perform military service.
There is a little latitude in the command structure of the militia. If your jurisdiction allows it, you may elect your own officers. They would fall under the chain of command throughout the entire militia of your state ... as would *you.* Yet, by now, it is more than likely that the election of officers is set by your state legislature via statutes in your state or orders issued by the legislature.
In a nutshell, you are signing up for military service for the duration of the muster. You may be required to bring, or not bring, your *military grade* weapons. You could be *ordered* to store your *military grade* weapons in the town armory, in the county armory, and/or in the state armory.
As a member of the militia, you are subject to being well-regulated.
At any time, the state legislature can pass orders and overrule whatever commands have been issued by your town or county.
Your state legislature has the power to order you to comply and enforce that.
Personally, I think that town level and county level mustering for the purpose of drill, inspection, and training, are over-due; I believe that we need to demonstrate the proper and safe use, maintenance, and storage of particularly *military grade* weapons. So that young people see, ‘this is how you do it and why’ versus ‘that is *not* how’ - they need to see the importance of these traditions that *respect law and order* as General Washington and our Founding Fathers also expected.

Do it right. Do it like the war’s already started, because they have already declared us the enemy, and they’re watching and listening and formulating contingency plans.
“Especially given the fact that you appear to be trying to frighten people away from organizing.”
Government forum infiltration of this thread?
Since you think I’m a little off I’m sure you won’t miss me at the meetings.
“Spelling IS important.”
Sorry DUDE! It is not a spelling error! It is a punctuation error!
Trust me! I know! :-)
You will know the Good Guys by who is shooting at the Bad Guys

LOL,
We could have a whole discussion on this one! Is it punctuation, or just poor spelling?
I have to admit though, you have made a valid point. And its late at night and Mr. Smirnoff has had his say.
I’ll step away from the keyboard now.
Have a good night night.
With any kind of thought, the best collusion for this sort of thing, is to do the same tactic that obama is using.
What is that?
The informal gathering of neighbors! It worked for Tupperware. It worked for Avon. It worked during the American Revolution. Why not now?
The good ol’ American ‘coffee klatche’!
The free exchange of ideas between free men, unfettered by governments of any kind, is a display of Freedom.
(DHS be damned!)
The fact that this sort of thing is even being discussed ought to give anyone ‘watching’ pause...
You'd have a lot of coin's if that wish came true!
I’d say that a neighborhood watch is the best place to start. Actually, that’s probably the best place to finish too. After that, if you want to be part of a bigger militia, my vote is with one of these groups:
http://www.marines.mil/
http://www.navy.mil/
http://www.army.mil/
http://www.af.mil/
Or you can compromise with a state militia.
I agree that the FBI probably started it. Kinda like leaving a Corvette on the side of the road with the hood up. Takes about 17 minutes on average for someone to stop and take a look. They put taxidermy deer in fields also. Advertize the local militia and get a few dudes with tats and no teeth. We got several bites advertizing a van full of C4 in local Mosques.
I thought it might be advantageous to get as an example, someone on the order of Allen West,( he's not busy at the moment), as a leader. There are patriots back from the ME in every community and have experience in tactics and insurgency techniques. I don't think watching Red dawn 12 times will do the trick.
