A Well Regulated Militia Being Necessary to the Security of a Free State. . .
With today's FBI raids it might be a good time to remember that WE The People are THE Militia as the Founders envisioned it and so penned in The Second Amendment. Every one of us.
When the Redcoats (no offense, Ray) came to seize the military supplies at Concord ("and do try to bag those scoundrels Adams and Hancock, will you?") it wasn't a standing army that met them at the bridge and on the green. It was farmers and shopkeepers and laborers who showed up with their hunting rifles in an act of self defense of their land and their towns. Had the Regulars not come, these farmers would not have gone looking for a fight. They had way too much other shit to be looking after.
And indeed, when The Declaration of Independence was written. TJ and friends were not looking for a fight though they knew they would get one. If King George would simply have acquiesced the colonials would not have gone about plinking at anyone in a British uniform.
And that is important to remember, because as things get worse, there will be more "militias" like this showing their hand., stirring things up.
Remember, WE are THE Militia. And that does not mean we go looking for a fight but are ready willing armed and able IF one comes to us. Ready to defend hearth home kith kin and country but not just taking potshots at anyone in uniform.
