They'll just go underground and the authorities won't know they exist until they start committing acts of terrorism or engage in some other illegal activity. It's better to have them all in the open, on the radar, than forcing them all underground, like Hamas. This Senator is a fool.
Given the possibility of the collapse of law-enforcement and military during some cataclysmic event, most sane people would welcome armed patriotic Americans would would go through the time and trouble to band together to maintain some resemblance of civil order in the face of anarchy.
I know most of my neighbors believe that. American militias are nothing more than loose-knit rural neighborhood watch organizations. They exist in order to be the last line of defense of this country, should our military and law-enforcement institutions fail. And never believe those institutions are infallible. My own county Sheriff has expressed his gratitude towards those who have concealed carry permits, stating that he and his deputies have a wide area of ground to cover, and can't be everywhere at the same time.
