I have to ask, how does everyone feel about the right to form a Militia?

I for one am in favor of the idea. I am not talking about a kook squad, but a group of individuals who get together, in a disciplined, self regulated manner, and train to react to the worse case scenarios. In addition to being able to assist in a time of natural disaster, they could also very well prove to be our last line of defense in the event of a Presidential Tyrant, or the declaration of martial law.

I am not talking about the National Guard, rather a separate, private, community run militiawho could stand ready to serve the interests of thier community if and when needed.

Before WWII California had a Naval Militia, who proved to be so effective and useful that the Navy made them a part of the active Naval Force during the war. There can be benefits to such an organization. Like grown up boyscouts with guns...

The Civil Air Patrol is a close example, but they are too closely controled by the USAF.
