Do you support the concept of civilian militias, and why?
No. They tend to have ill-defined missions, poor training, and questionable ideologies. Anti-government, anti-immigration, etc, groups are not ones that I would support.Civil defense or responding to natural disasters get slightly more pull with me, but because the individuals in them don’t tend to take themselves seriously enough (or lack the knowledge to know what serious looks like), they tend to end up as laughable caricatures of what a military would be.It’s obvious from the membership in US militias that a lot of individuals want the camaraderie and sense of purpose that comes along with military service. Unfortunately militias the way they are in the US now have demonstrated poor success at doing that.I suspect a lot of militia members are there because they couldn’t pass the physical or medical for the Armed Forces. To individuals looking to support their state and join an organization with actual standards I recommend looking up their local State Guard or State Defense Force (SDF).SDF are state-sanctioned and supported, non-military volunteer organizations that are sometimes called militias. Some are armed. They help our during natural disasters and assist the National Guard in running exercises and so on.
Does anyone know of a civilian's militia I could join?
Be careful. Prisons are being built in remote areas all over this country preparing a spot for you in spite of what the Constitution says. Blackwater is a private militia but they are sold to the highest bidder. Do you really want to be a part of a team that is motivated by money. Personally, I trust our private military men and women far more then any private organization. At least they took an oath to protect the interests of American people first. I think New Orleans came as shock to our military people when they were forced to take the guns due to martial law. Many of them said it themselves that they never thought they would see that day in America. This has to be something that is being discussed behind closed doors. I just hope it is for the good of the citizens and not for the good of the power players who want to control our government. The best militia is every citizens using logical means to secure our freedoms through our consitutional laws.
Why do people think civilians could never beat the military?
As is regularly occurring those days you're completely fake impact the 2d modification. A learn of yank historic previous and Civics can therapy this yet at present's colleges curiously can't instruct those nicely. The shape of america grow to be drawn up via the 2d Continental Congress. In Article I of the form the army and the army are created to furnish a elementary protection. whilst the 1st Congress of america grow to be in consultation it exceeded the bill of high quality, which includes the 2d modification and that grow to be additionally ratified. Now if there grow to be already a militia and a army to furnish for a elementary protection what grow to be the point or the 2d modification? maximum of it is defined interior the 2d modification itself. So what does it say? we've plenty communicate approximately that. It states that it is mandatory to the protection of a unfastened state. How so? nicely it is the persons's protection against an oppressive over accomplishing government. it extremely is the objective ( a nicely chosen observe) of the 2d modification. The protection stress is given not something interior the 2d modification. the anybody is given the nicely suited to maintain and undergo hands. it is to not be infringed. you are able to look that up inspite of the indisputable fact that it ability regulated via something. observe that it would not say rifles, pistols, or shotguns. It would not point out weapons in any respect. It says hands. Any hands. the 2d modification is for situations whilst the government serves its very own purpose extremely of the persons purpose. it is an emergent techniques-set whilst impeachment isn't a threat. take a glance at at present's political ecosystem. you will possibly think of its time. Now i'm going to cite the 2d modification for people who won't make an effort to look it up and are conscious of it. One sentence says it extra beneficial than 2700 pages interior the ACA. "A nicely regulated protection stress, being mandatory to the protection of a unfastened State, the nicely suited of the persons to maintain and undergo hands, shall not be infringed."
Stats say that American civilians hold about 300 million guns in total. If World War III happens and America participates in it, will America have an advantage because American civilians are armed?
Not really.The only scenario in which the civilian population is likely to become involved is if the US mainland was invaded and the civilians decided to try out that old 2nd amendment idea and form militias, this was after all the purpose of the 2nd amendment in the first place.The invading forces know full well that the US is awash with civilian held weapons.They would:-Shoot to kill anyone they thought had a weaponDo armoured sweeps to stir up the locals in order to get guns out in the openSurgical searchesSurgical arrestsMetal detector sweeps looking for arms cachesIf brought under fire, bring up the armour or call in an airstrikeYou need to have civilian arms to carry out insurgency work but this only works when the invader cannot be sure who has weapons.If there are enough weapons swilling about so that everybody could have one they would get less selective.I don't doubt for a second that US citizens would fight back, the trouble is that by the time they become involved the war is properly over. It's become an insurgency issue.If WW3 was a hot war and the enemy had boots on the ground on the US mainland, the chances are that most of the industrialised and urban areas would be molten glass anyway.
Is it legal to raise a civilian militia?
Listen. If by "Militia" you mean a bunch of guys who sit around a campfire on weekends, ***** about taxes and maybe bust off a few rounds at watermelons, you have no worries. If however you advocate the violent overthrow of the federal government or disruption of any state government, you will run into problems. Remember, as soon as the FBI sees "Militia" in the name of your organization, they WILL either be coming to see you or send someone to infiltrate your group. GUARANTEED.
If a war happened in America, would regular US civilians armed with guns participate by shooting the enemy soldiers?
No, absolutely not. Civilians with firearms would not shoot “enemy soldiers”, they would shoot American civilians, at least those designated as the enemy.Bear with me here.The US Military is larger than the next 14 countries combined, most of whom are your allies. Sure one or a few of them could be disgruntled with the Orange Commander -In-Chief as he systematically disables America’s world-wide alliances and promotes the interests of Russia, but enough to invade? Come on, let’s be realistic here.Any nation sufficiently advanced to be able to land troops on any of the 50 states would not be stupid enough to do so without considering how to hold that land and consolidate any gains without becoming a glassed-over wasteland. The US does not have a credible military adversary capable of landing and holding ground. Period.However, the promotion of a 5th column by inspiring divisive political actors and the promulgation of alternative narratives is not only feasible but currently underway by actors both foreign and domestic in the US.Proud (civilian) patriots will be turning their guns on the “others” - gay, black, foreign, the liberal elite, the coastal states - because they are standing in the way of America becoming great again (or whatever the slogan de jour will be) because these are the “real enemy”.There will be incidents in the lead up to this, incidents where the “others” have attacked the US (similar to the Reichstag fire). As the fury gets whipped up in a febrile fearful environment, laws will be passed curtailing civil freedoms while this scourge and threat to ‘Merica (PATRIOT Act II anyone).Anyone who stands in the way, trying to calm the mob and stay the calls for blood, revenge and the American Way will be a new enemy. These are the people who will be shot by the armed civilians.And if anyone outside the US, thinks this is amusing, think again. Who will be designated as the next enemy, the next “others” after the internal wars have been settled…? You gotta have someone else to blame.One step closer to Atwood’s Gilead.
How ready are American militia groups to defend their country from invasion?
There are just too many variables here, so I will remain largely and naively general.A full on invasion by a well organized military force invading any nation would be too powerful and overwhelming to resist by the less organized and less trained gun toting militia. There is a HUGE difference between being able to fire a gun, and being able to use it effectively in combat.Without the active assistance of the US Military, these organizations and groups would be easily run over by an invading nation's military. A simple picture that comes to my mind would be machine gun wielding militia in a truck, against a battle tank. Zero chance.Unless the invading forces are depleted of all resources and are not being replenished, it would take enormous trickery and battle tactics to even make a dent in their advance.I often wonder even about the US military's ability to "defend" the USA against a foreign invasion. Once the foreign forces have landed on US soil, most of the USA's weapon systems being designed for offence, cannot be used defensively. For example, nuclear missiles and daisy cutters. What would you do with them on your own soil, unless you're willing to sacrifice a lot of your own people?Precision bombing from the air is possible, but just imagine - hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties in a small country like Iraq, when the US military is not really trying to be choosy about who dies as long as it is not one of their own.In a situation like this, the less organized militia can provide the protracted battle angles, cause chaos and confusion, and do the more daring things like taking out individual targets that small groups can engage.If the intent of the invading forces is to take on military targets and incapacitate relatiatory power, then the US Military would clearly put up one hell of a fight. If they choose to take over towns and cities and enslave civilian populations in large numbers, anything can happen.In any case, any forces mad enough and able enough to land on US soil with the intent to invade has already come so far down the road to worry about the USA's state militia, patriotic gun enthusiasts and armed gangs in various states. Some gangs will fancy their chances, though, I am sure. The rest will be smart to avoid confrontation and some will try to make deals with the invaders.
What, if any, training do American paramilitaries/militias receive?
Well it depends on the militias. If they are lucky they have some members with previous service in the armed forces and they can train the rest of them on tactics etc. Some take training into their own hands with basic shooting, first-aid, etc. Some are just guys who wanna look cool so they buy some guns, some camo gear, and a truck. It highly varies, however there are some good documentaries on sites such as netflix about militias that could aid you in your quest to find more out about militias. Hope this helped :D
What's the purpose to create a civilian militia in the USA?
We already have a militia as defined in U.S. code -CITE- 10 USC Sec. 311 01/03/2007 -EXPCITE- TITLE 10 - ARMED FORCES Subtitle A - General Military Law PART I - ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL MILITARY POWERS CHAPTER 13 - THE MILITIA -HEAD- Sec. 311. Militia: composition and classes -STATUTE- (a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard. (b) The classes of the militia are - (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia. -SOURCE- (Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 14; Pub. L. 85-861, Sec. 1(7), I assume you are referring to Obama's mention of a civillian national security force. This is not the same thing as the militia. I believe the purpose would be to indoctrinate children into socialism.
What do modern-day militias in the U.S. do?
I'll take a guess,Run around the woods, shoot their rifles at imaginary targets.Crawl around the woods, practice Vietnam Era Infantry Tactics. Shoot their handguns at imaginary targets.Clean their weapons, drink beer and complain about the US government. And probably shoot some more of their weapons at imaginary targets,Post videos on Youtube of themselves running around shooting at imaginary targets.It's all good RPG kinda stuff.
