U.S. militias not ready to lay down arms under Trump
The Toronto Star ^ | June 12, 2017 | Lisa Marie Pane, The Associated Press

JACKSON, GA.—In the woods south of Atlanta, John and Yvette DeMaria are with about a dozen camouflage-wearing, heavily armed Americans huffing and puffing as they scramble to navigate the sprawling piece of property where they train, one weekend a month, to ward off enemies — foreign or domestic.

The DeMarias are with the Georgia Security Force militia, whose members are relieved that Donald Trump won the presidency but believe it would be a mistake to lay down their arms just because he is in the White House. So they continue to take to the woods to be ready for whatever may come, whether it’s an economic crisis that spawns unrest or Islamic extremists carrying out attacks on American soil.....

Militias are a good thing. I trust them much more than the Islamic terrorist training camps that’s in this country.

I'd like to see THOSE exposed and criticized.

But I know that will never happen.

Its the Toronto Star, after all

Leftist Canadian metrosexuals eat-up anything about US “rednecks,” militias, conservative Christians, etc... that confirms their own biases and fantasies.

Of course it won’t be exposed—from the MSM. They’re paid off traitors to the Republic.

After reading the article, and only seeing mention of “AR-15s and handguns”, I conclude the people were lightly armed.

Right on. I thought the same. I read the article because I wondered what "Heavily Armed" meant. I wondered, M-60s? AK-47s? C-4? Bazooka? Grenades? Armored Hummers? Ma-deuce? Mounted Chain gun?

AR-15 and handguns! Maybe they hid the sexy stuff from the reporters and only showed the not so scary stuff.

“AR-15 and handguns! Maybe they hid the sexy stuff from the reporters and only showed the not so scary stuff.”

Maybe, but I doubt it.

Every wanted man thought to be armed with a .38 is reported to be “heavily armed.”

2A all the way!

The Court (USSC) has held that “the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments (like the AR) that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding,” District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. 570, 582 (2008), and that this “Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States,” McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U. S. 742, 750 (2010).

All gun laws are unconstitutional.

More likely to pick up arms in support of Trump - who never asked anyone to lay down their arms.

The public education system has failed us.

True. But the article is from a Canadian newspaper ... and dripping with the ignorant arrogant buffoonish contempt that is the specialty of urban pansies.
