IMHO it was because the anti-gun nuts forced it to begin. Since they claimed that RKBA pertains only to "militias", voila we have militias.
Whatever it takes.

"Radical Constitutionalist" aka "getting it right".
"Openly"? Are you kidding? The horror of it all! /sarcasm
If his religion is genuine, it will mix with every aspect of his life, political or otherwise. And it will do so openly, not just behind closed doors.
Interesting comment from Pravda, "Official Newspaper" of the former USSR.
Also noticed that the author has an excellent command of written English: didn't notice any of the usual idiomatic errors that are currency in the Western press. Pravda....go figure.
If this sample is indicative of the general quality of Russian media, we're gonna have to play catch-up.

Somehow the existence of such a group doesn't bother me. I'm too old to become involved with such things myself, but I think this is a healthy sign after what happened at Waco.
Somebody Gets It. This fracture, this shattering of the American mirror into a thousand disparate shards has been in the works for years. For those with some sense of history, it's the third phase of what Antonio Gramsci envisioned for Western culture - the collapse of the West in general and America in particular into a nightmare of chaos, slaughter and anarchy. Gramsci figured that people would welcome a totalitarian savior with open arms.
Thanks to the 'change agents' our public school system who fill our kids' heads with phony self-esteem and hatred of the American Creed; thanks to the slow and steady poisoning of our intellectual life by the multi-cultural Marxism preached with Stalinist rigor in our universities; thanks to the elites leading the steady march of our culture - art, music, theater, literature - into the gutter; thanks to the hate-filled liars who promote class, race and gender warfare in an effort to drag us down into the kind of tribalism that has kept Africa one of the most brutal and poverty-stricken places on Earth; thanks to each and every empty-headed and soulless monster whose sick fantasies of power and domination over every sphere of human thought and endeavor have caused the deaths of over a hundred of million in the last century alone -
A sizable percentage of the American public is now so dumbed down, so rabbit-scared, so entitled that they'd welcome the Man on the White Horse as soon as he rode onstage.
My family and I will resist that eventuality with every means at our disposal.
Thanks for the report. I would only add that It is more widely believed that a successful attempt to confiscate firearms will be the last step in implementing a full-blown dictatorship. It won't last long though. My grandkids told me.
They being leftist, I no doubt believe the ADL would support an incrementalist approach to achieving its desired ends. First, I purpose disarming all Jews…..
I’ll have to write a letter to them to get their support.
I have no desire to combat with reason communitarian zombies who have voluntarily rendered themselves witless , or to spend my happiness, property or life in defense of dirt: the ideas that I revere are portable, and welcome wherever people observe the Golden Rule.
Some of my ancestors came here fleeing tyranny; the time may come when the ancestral homelends entice me back.
I've taken note of numerous places around the globe where U.S. expats have formed little communities. Even in places like Chile, where the restrictions on general freedom are more severe than ours, these folks are relitively more free than we: these countries' governments are very vertical in their effect, and it's easy to remain out of the searchlight of scrutiny. Here, my neighbor is calling the authorities when I have a pile of horse dung higher than the town ordinances allow. I'm inclined to run away.
The private right to own and carry an unregulated firearm, and to use firearms in self-defense.
The elimination of all forms of income taxation.
An end to all forms of war and imperialism.
The preservation of all Constitutionally guaranteed civil liberties, including the right to habeas corpus, the preservation of free speech and assembly, the right to be secure in property, and the right to be free from torture and cruel and unusual punishment.
The elimination of usury and the end of the role of finance capital in the economy. The restoration of the gold and silver standard.
The elimination of the corporation as an economic entity, and the end of corporate globalization.
The creation of political diversity through the protection of the rights of third party and independent political candidates and voters.
The expulsion of the United Nations from New York, and a withdrawal of the US from the UN.
Private, decentralized ownership of the media, and a breakup of all media monopolies dependent on cable, tv and radio licenses.
The elimination of the public educational system and all forms of government interference in the raising of our youth.
The elimination of the juvenile psychiatric system.
The elimination of policing forces under the control of the executive branch of the government.
The preservation of Traditional Indo-European cultural values and the promotion of Traditional religion.
1. Gain the favor of those in militias, or, those who are borderline and are getting frustrated with the urban liberals.
2. Incite even more divisiveness in the US than already exists.
3. Identify some sort of class warfare in which the rural middle class white is the oppressed and the urban liberals (on both extremes, the wealthy and their underclass interest groups) are the oppressors.
All of this points to the worst sort of foreign influence; that which wants to send the very force of good in the USA, those who typically voted for Bush in 2000, and those allied with them, to their own destruction in a hail of would be CW2 gunfire. Now why would the Russians want to do that?
