Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a group of people actually tried to form a "militia" and asserted their rights to own and defend their homes with guns wouldn't they, in this crazy political climate, all be hauled away tossed in the can?

Wouldn't they also be most probably hooked up in some way to terrorist or subversive activities and held without benifit of habeas corpus? In other words, not specifically charged with a crime, just held in jail??

Yes.

Forming a militia is illegal in most of the Northeast, at the very least.
