The Commander in Chief has the power to activate the militia.

I think I smell an April Fools’ joke.

[teletech]

April fool?

[Leaning Right]

The last paragraph of the article:

Those who have read this far will recognize that the first day of April is reserved for the application of stories designed to enlighten people otherwise deficient in wisdom.

So this is an April Fools joke. And since there’s no humor here, it’s a poor joke, in my opinion.

It MAY indeed endanger (certain individuals) in minority communities, but ONLY if they choose to commit crimes while in the proximity of someone who is carrying, Maxine.

only applies to males,

I have read it applied to white males between 18 and 45. They missed a good opportunity.

These late April Fools day pranks should be short-lived and used only once. And that one was already done early this morning.

I know this an April Fools joke, but why should the Militia be limited to adults under 45.
During the Revolution there was a 69 yo farmer who shot and killed a Red Coat. The British shot him then bayoneted him more than 20 times to ensure his death. Somehow he woke up the following day, crawled to his home a few hundred yards away and received care.
He didn’t die until 30 years later at age 99.
I would consider him a member of the militia.

The order will go into effect on 1 April, 2017, at 24:59:59

Aprils Fool - unless we have moved to a 25 hour day.

[[The executive order claimed that as president he had authority as Commander in Chief to activate the militia, ]]

Hawaiian judge issues order to suspend the executive order claiming that the EO hurts business in Hawaii

[Billthedrill]

Oh, crap. I didn’t read far enough into the article before I slaughtered a dozen of my neighbors. The county sheriff is gonna be sooo ticked off at me...

[BuffaloJack]

I’m almost 71. If I can hunt and drag a deer a mile out of the woods, I wouldn’t consider myself to infirm to be in the militia.

[BenLurkin]

Your Governor has that power. Not the Prz, yes?

[j_tull]

24:59:59 Pacific time Ain't no such number.

[crz]

You know...all the low life dingbats in the liberal media will take this and run with it.

That is how GD dumb they are.

[PJBankard]

Obviously an April fools joke. Didn't even need to read to the bottom of the article.

The order will go into effect on 1 April, 2017, at 24:59:59 Pacific time, and extend until 00:00:01 on 2 April, 2017, Eastern Standard time.

Pacific time is 3 hours behind Eastern Time. The order ends 2 hours 59 minutes and 58 seconds before it even begins.

Filibuster him! LOL.
