They don't want you getting together in your AO or neighborhoods making plans

Just like every other law of this kind, the government always goes too far, get challenged in court and loses.

Please cite where states have lost.

What is the ACW?

Apologies: American Civil War. Also known as the court case of Lee vs. Grant, appeal denied...

In 25 states, unauthorized military activities are considered a crime. In Colorado, for example, instructing people how to use or make firearms or explosive devices with the intent of causing civil disorder is a class 5 felony.

So, we're back to thoughtcrimes now.

Is this Constitutional?

When have liberals ever concerned themselves with the Constitution? This clearly violates the 1st Amendment right to assembly.

All 50 states prohibit private paramilitary activity.

Private gun clubs can call themselves a Militia, but they have the same civil authority as Grandma's sewing club.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

i like this idea, all militias should be banned, including Antifa and the proud boys

How do they differentiate between paramilitary and just some people outdoor survival training?

Or training gun proficiency?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Or training gun proficiency?

Yes. That is the problem with such laws, who decides it is paramilitary or not?

Cannot support this law due to this

If they're not doing actual illegal military exercises, I don't see what the problem is.

Ain't nuthin' wrong with like..a "Tom Brown" club.

Kinda what we were when we were kids. (with no name and not eating ickier stuff)

I don't think its been successfully challenged in court yet on a Constitutional basis. Their circus, their bail bond.

So, we're back to thoughtcrimes now.

20 or 30 gun nuts in the woods in their fatigues, playing Rambo isn't a "thought crime".
