On Militias

The American Constitution allows for the formation and maintenance of an armed militia, to be called up by the government in support of the constitutional government, in the furtherance of its mission to protect the rights of the American population from enemies within and without our national borders.

The underlying assumption of the Founding Fathers was that the government would be faithful to the Constitution in its entirety, would constantly seek to protect the rights of American citizens, and that the government and the militia would be in one accord in the continuation of the constitutional system of government they set in place, and in the protection of these rights enshrined in the very Constitution they penned.

But what is to become of the militia and its prescribed role in the protection of the country when the government sets aside its own original purpose, and in part or in the main is no longer supportive of the original constitutional system set down by the Founding Fathers? Does this mean that the militia is indebted to support such an illegitimate government according to its original mandate? Or does it mean that the militia no longer has any purpose at all, since the government has become perverse and unconstitutional, and therefore should be disbanded? Or does it mean that the militia remains actively in service, waiting for a government to form and fulfill its original role in society? Or does it mean that the militia is to take an active role, in lieu of the existence of an effective constitutional government, to cast out such an unconstitutional government, and to replace it with one more suitable to the personal and collective liberty of the citizenry, as was originally intended?

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence.

The hard left in America, recognizing the power and effect of an armed militia to derail their destructive plans, have long argued that the militia serves at the pleasure of the federal government and not independent of it, and that no matter the degraded and illegitimate nature of a federal government that they might have subverted, the militia must remain subservient to it. This has allowed them breathing room to work their black magic in the subversion or our culture and government, the destruction of our Constitution, and has rendered the militia currently neutered and ineffective as a counterbalance to their intentions.

The militia, according to its original mission and purpose, is to be dedicated solely to the furtherance of our founding principals and constitution, in service to a federal government committed to the same purpose. Should the federal government throw off its original mission, and become subversive to the founding intentions; this by no means releases the militia from its original mission to defend and protect the Constitution.

The only feasible way to reclaim our great nation, to renew our fealty to our great Constitution, to protect the life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of yet unborn Americans, to right our national budget and prevent a coming financial collapse, to prevent the infiltration and purging happening in our military, dangerously weakening it—is to recognize and organize the vast power of the 70,000,000 gun owners in America. Our government has shown itself unwilling to address these current and looming disasters, and needs to be shown the way back. The overwhelming power and eventual organization of the vast army of Americans who own and are trained to use their firearms, is the only mechanism available to convince our federal government to return to their original purpose, to govern accordingly, or to be forcibly replaced.

I would strongly encourage all Americans to purchase an AR-15 and to accumulate 1,000 rounds of ammunition at the minimum. I would encourage all to obtain training and to practice with your weapon, and to band together with other like minded Americans in preparation for what is to come. As our national situation degrades further under the onslaught of the hard left in America, the time will soon come when we will need to stand. There is power in our resolve and in the skilled use of our weapons, and this is the same power that, when the time is right, will arise and renew our great land.

Beware of becoming lost in the normalcy bias, that assumption that things will always continue on as they have before, and that nothing needs to be done to ensure this. The final loss of our great nation, the greatest in the history of the world, will happen in an instant, and will come like a thief in the night, if not effectively resisted and prevented.

We are like a group of friends gathered on the deck of a beautiful home overlooking the ocean to watch the sunset—eating, drinking, and laughing—all the while though hearing a faint sawing sound from the basement, where the pillars of the house are rooted and exposed, and are being slowly and methodically severed by intruders. What sane person would not arm themselves and rush to the basement to stop such a potentially lethal attack? Yet we continue to eat and drink, either denying what is happening, or assuming the pillars are somehow impervious to attack and cannot actually be destroyed. Until in one final stroke the pillars are divided, the home crashes down the cliff into the ocean, and the opportunity to save the house and its inhabitants is gone forever.
