The Militia: A Constitutional Defense Force
From Dr. Kate
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says:
A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
This Amendment in effect requires the States to have in place a ‘well-regulated militia’ to be ready to protect the citizenry and the State as called upon by the Governor or as deemed advisable locally to protect the community. And every state is out of compliance with this requirement.
In addition, the federal and state governments have passed legislation that directly infringes upon the right of the citizens to bear arms. With these laws, only the criminals have guns and the people are unable to defend themselves.
Yet remember who organized in defense of the Colonies against the British? The committees of safety, the Sons of Liberty: the Militia. All able-bodied citizens.
As it turns out, the Militia has been bad-mouthed by many politicians, the media, and the government for a very long time. The Militia is a convenient scapegoat as well, and the people have learned to fear the Militia as ‘right wing extremists’.
Definitions
The delegates of the Continental Congress 2009 undertook an extensive examination of the abuse of the Second Amendment…and one of the first tasks was to define and help educate the people on the definition of a Militia:
The term Militia, inherently separate from the state National Guard, means “Constitutional Defense Force”, comprising all citizenry capable of bearing arms and under proper authority, in defense of themselves and each of the Several States
The Militia are under the authority of the Governor but is truly grass-roots local defense forces to assist local police, emergency, and state police in any emergency, and as against all invasion. Training and organization is essential and can be assisted by your local sheriff.
Think about where we are now. Everyone is holding their breath waiting for the initiation of martial law, or some other type of police presence. The main reason it hasn’t happened already is that we have the Second Amendment, and in the last year many citizens have become armed. YOU can act on this now.
