Introduced by Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Thursday, the bill dubbed the “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act” would prohibit privately organized groups from “publicly patrolling, drilling, or engaging in harmful or deadly paramilitary techniques,” “interfering with or interrupting government proceedings,” or “interfering with the exercise of someone else’s constitutional rights,” according to Mr. Markey.

Their bills defines a “private paramilitary organization” as “any group of 3 or more persons associating under a command structure for the purpose of functioning in public or training to function in public as a combat, combat support, law enforcement, or security services unit.” The bill states acting with or on behalf of such a private paramilitary organization while armed with a firearm, explosive, incendiary device, or other dangerous weapon, and engaging in patrolling, training, interfering with government or constitutional rights, or assuming the functions of law enforcement without official authority.

The bill makes exceptions for members of the National Guard and other military reserve components, state guard forces, and members of other federal or state-organized groups to train in and apply paramilitary, law enforcement, and security service activity. The bill also allows for the organization of groups formed solely to conduct military reenactments, “bona-fide veterans organization with no intent to engage” in the aforementioned prohibited activities, and students in government or state-authorized educational institutions that teach military science.


Remember that old cliche. Anytime they want to take your guns away, it's because they want to do something you would shoot them for......Only in this case, it's getting organized and trained.

Raskin again.....I don't typically root for cancer, but in his case I'll make a exception. 😐
 
Uh...organized militias are already illegal in all 50 states. This just looks like putting some teeth with a bill that will actually enforce what is already supposed to be illegal....and don't EVER call a National Guard reservist a member of a "militia".
They take great offense to that.

Cite?

In Virginia all you have to do is inform the CLEO in the area.

OK, maybe I should have used the term "unregulated militias". That seems to be the common thread through the various state's definition and regulation of militias.

You are going to have to do better than some leftist gun grabber "source". Jeez. :lame2:
 
The militia are the people.

But that is the point, that it can never be legal to make militias illegal.
The right of each individual to self defense is paramount, and a militia is just those individuals to join together in order to protect each other better.
That is the legal foundation of a republic, and any attempt to alter that obvious fact, is immediately a dictatorship.
Obviously the right of people to form a militia is vastly superior to the distant dictates of a government created by media manipulated elections.

Militias are nothing but government hating anarchists. Need to keep people like you in their place.

Gun control. Not gun grabbing. Again, I own guns and NO ONE has even made a tacit threat of taking them.
The 2A quite specifically says "well-regulated militia". Since unorganized militias are not regulated, they are constitutionally illegal.
Each state however, has it's own rules.
