A Militia is not bound by UCMJ or other legalese. The Militia is free men coming together in order to physically support a cause.
A militia cannot have modern class three military grade weapons such as full auto and post 1986 belt fed machine guns nor any destructive devices without a $200 stamp for each and every round, nor armor piercing ammo. They also cannot have Abrams tanks, MARPS or fighter jets think air national guard. It is a huge legal difference to have national sponsorship. The ATF will be expecting every last one of those Federal government weapons to be returned to the active Army armories anyone who possesses or uses a military M16 or M4 and not a member of the federally funded and sponsored national guard is a 25 year felon and you can take it to the bank the feds will demand every weapon back and throw the book at any former guard unit that doesn’t turn them in. This is not some of great they “win” and.thumb their noses at the feds, the Fed’s are playing hardball now this is serious.
