except as provided in section 313 of title 32,
What does section 313 say?
One of the prime causes of the armed rebellion against British rule was excessive taxation. Perhaps those in Washington should take note of how history can repeat itself.
Being 45, I’m a little disappointed at that upper cutoff age.
Would that preclude someone over 45 from joining a militia without prior service, or is that just the cutoff age for compulsary service?
Hypothetically, of course...
Neighbors guarding neighbors. I have no problem with that.
I’m not thrilled with the idea of armed ruffians prowling the streets in pickup trucks, but a “well-regulated” (i.e. officers, oversight, training, etc.) militia sounds fine, even if it is an “unorganized” militia. (The feds are quick to “nationalize” state National Guard units, which I think is just a reserve branch of the Regular Army.)
Towns are losing (union) police officers due to prohibitive costs, so somebody will have to pick up the slack. I trust my neighbors to do the right thing.
As for being over the age limit, I’m sure “volunteers” could help out in other ways, such as logistics, cooking, admin, etc.
This is how the controlled media works. They specifically target groups that they perceive as a threat to aristocratic domination, be it the Tea Party, gun owners, etc and are attempting through their propaganda to turn them into racist pariahs of society. In reality the media represents the racists that target average Americans.
Throughout the history of the world the aristocrats MO was to turn the masses into disarmed serfs.
Just not the one that goes and fights in the real wars. That's for other people.

The OKC bombing might have forever tainted many people on the word militia. Although it was actually sloppy, it was a very successful false flag operation. When you’ve got a dumbed down, easily manipulated, emotional audience, you can get away with murder.
Yep. You see those signs about carrying an ax, bucket and shovel in the woods? You think that’s just so you have them to give to somebody else?We had a bad forest fire years back and one of my buddies was driving in the woods. He was mobilized to fight the fire. There’s too many people making money fighting fires these days, but if it gets bad enough, the government can grab you and make you work.
That’s a great post right there.
Thanks for posting.
