I don't remember details but doesn't the VA constitution call for and allow the formation of a local militia?

So warning that the government is drifting towards tyranny is considered anti government threats and activity?

Good for Them.
It runs against ARFCOM OPSEC, but being there to be seen as responsible American Patriots to the public while interfacing with other .GOV entities certainly reduces the "losers with guns / nutcase" taint many in the general public associate with "secret militias". I wish them Good Luck & Godspeed. Bigger_Hammer

I guess resisting a tyrannical govt back then was….different. Anyways until they take action against a duly elected and constitutionally lawful government, I don’t see the conflict. This is the liberal ideology against the 2nd ammendment for regular citizens. |

I'd like to add to Bizzarolibe's post that if I do run for state delegate next year I'd be unapologetically part of a local militia.
We have to be able to stand tall and tell government "no" with greater force than they subtly threaten us with every day. The 2A sanctuary movement was a great start, but it needed more teeth. I have some plans for bills I'd propose if elected. But the odds are very low they'd get anywhere. I just think it's time to change the discussion a bit. |

There are hours upon hours of content they (Steve Beynon) sifted through, and hundreds (thousands?) of social media posts, most of which are written by various volunteers. What you saw in the article is the best they were able to manage. I looked at the Task Force Butler organization mentioned in the article. Their website is mostly antifa drivel wrapped in an American flag. “Veterans Fighting Fascism” and “We are American Veterans who Hunt Neo-Nazis” The only people that talk like that are commies. So why is military.com entertaining such radicalism? Perhaps if a light is shone and a stink is made ala bud light/Harley/tsc/black and decker, etc, they could be convinced of the error of their ways? Seems like such backlash would especially influential if presented by veterans/veterans groups, and very publicly. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bizzarolibe: Originally Posted By Need4Guns: Im willing to bet there are more militias in VA than people would probably believe. I'm actually surprised there aren't more hit pieces like this out there. There are quite a few. SPLC also just released a hit piece on us and sever other militias close to us. In other words, the lapdogs in the leftist media got their marching orders and this piece of excrement is the first fruit. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LoBrau: The author references "overt threats" a few times, but fails to enumerate them. What threats? I'm a member of a RC group on FB. Some guy had some "FJB" sticker or something like that painted on one of his SCX24s. Some leftist little cry baby bitch then started whining about how that was "hate speech". This is seriously how fucked up the left is. When the left says they want to criminalize "Hate speech", they don't mean racial slurs and racial jokes and actually racially hateful comment... they just mean speech that they hate. |
