The Minutemen were an organized militia.

It is later than most folks realize. When the Dems get their 5th SCOTUS justice, the 2nd Amendment will be re-interpreted and gutted. The real tyranny will begin then.

If modern day patriots have a hope of prevailing, they better recognize the signs and start to organize.

The minutemen were NOT organized militia, but rather unorganized militia with NO govt. backing....They resisted govt. interference in their affairs.

Today an organized militia would be the National Guard essentially a state’s own army separate from the US Army.

Occasionally you see, mostly democrat, politicians referring to our military veterans as “domestic terrorists.” The Dems always tell us who they fear. It is these militia, unorganized but with prior training and military skills, that they fear.

The proponents of Tyranny i.e. Democrats, know that these veterans are the modern day “minutemen.” Unorganized as of yet, but a danger to leftist goals at a moments notice with the right spark. I think a severe restriction on the 2nd Amendment like the Dems are trying to do in California right now could provide such a spark.

Just to keep you up to date the Calif. Laws just signed by Gov. Brown are getting huge pushback by the various Sheriffs in the state, most of whom are openly advocating non compliance in their counties.....

What happens in California re these laws over the next couple of years will be pivotal one way or the other. It would behoove the remainder of the US to pay close attention. It is the NRA/GOA that need to lead the way or they’ll prove their uselessness.

Reagan famously said “Trust, but verify.”

I trust no one!
