The Utah Citizens’ Alarm is only a month old, and yet it already boasts 15,000-plus members.

The citizen militia’s recruits wear military fatigues and carry assault rifles. Their short-term goal, they say, is to act as a physical presence of intimidation to deter protesters from becoming violent and destroying the state of Utah.

I’ve often thought that a similar group is needed at Trump rallies. The rally attendees are totally defenseless because no weapons, not even mace, is allowed in the venue. Coming out and going to our cars we are particularly vulnerable. Big city police won’t or aren’t allowed to get involved.

Will be infiltrated, undermined and taken apart by FBI Socialist Fellow Travelers within a month.

The black militias? Untouchable.

And when armed Americans stand up and don’t allow spoiled children to destroy their Republic, the brat will probably slink back to their mother’s basement and continue playing video games butthe hard core antifa troops will slink back into the shadows to rise up another day.

I’ve been predicting this for the past couple of months.

Not a hard prediction when the rule of law disappears and the cops are not allowed to protect us.

Actually it began nearly 250 years ago with the Constitutions. 2A

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Is it un American and not patriotic NOT to belong to a militia? Some would say so.

Borrowed the idea from another meme:

Proper patriot groups aren’t worried about this because they are law-abiding, and vet members to exclude those who cannot legally possess a gun.

Nope...they aren't carrying "assault rifles".

Was the guardian this concerned over the nfac group??

I’m really concerned about the anarchists/democrats attacking their own crowds. Snipers taking out a few ‘peaceful terrorists’ and blame it on patriot groups. To cause a crackdown on patriot groups.
