| Militia, you say..? Arms Within Easy Reach. Alright, let's talk Militia. Where the Original Intent of the Founders was for citizens to have a gun within easy reach. December 19th, 2007 _____________________________________ Today, we are having a debate we should never have. We are squabbling about the force which backs our authority under our system. Can you imagine some people actually rooting for the disarmament of the force which backs their very Citizen Authority in this country? They root for the disarmament of the people in the name of safe streets. What they fail to realize is that armed citizens make for safe streets, and disarmament makes for unsafe streets – a boondoggle for the industries which thrive on violence. Today, the anti-violence movement is, itself, predatory. America is unique on the subject of personal weapons and for a reason. We don't have guns for food, we have guns to block chicanery, dirty tricks and boondoggles where we as armed citizens can handle the violent crime problem better than the silly non-violence policy crafted to handle it. Non-violence policy asks victims to do nothing until we get there. It asks victims to be a good witness. Propoganda urges people not to resist or to take the law into their own hands... they are called Vigilante. This kind of rhetoric which discourages the citizen authroty to act in time of crisis I call hiding the ball, where politicians and the bureaucrats and industries who support them desire to obfuscate the most effective solution: Citizen authority to act and superior force within easy reach. Forty states affirm concealed carry and have not regretted it. Some are looking at it, but this affirmation is spotty and meets with forces working to undermine the affirmation. In hiding the citizen authority to act, people die. In the middle of this is squabbling about who has this monopoly on force. Well, friends, the Militia has that monopoly. And I can prove it. Militia is in the news as if one cannot own a gun unless they are part of a state Militia. Many laymen see this to mean National Guard. In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right. At the focus was MILITIA (as if t meant National Guard). Alright: let's look at Militia since the ruling. What is Militia appears throughout the writings of the Founders who show their work, you might say, on how they arrived at what they finally ratified. This is where you find the proof of what they really wanted for us. If you think Bill Clinton loathed the military, you ought to read how the Founders loathed a standing army as nothing more than a centralization of power, and they weren't going to return to what they had just defeated. Militia in the minds of the Founders – which is Original Intent – never meant Military. It, therefore, by law, cannot mean Military today, not exclusively. Instead, when they wrote which would be the law of the land in the new nation and forever, was that the Citizen is Supreme Authority. Never again would people be subject to abuses of power. At the time, Militia was every able-bodied person. What we know as the National Guard [in regard to that at-issue point of state militia] was not even created until 130 years later, so twice we know they didn't mean the Military or National Guard. In forming the new nation, the Founders realized that this Supreme Authority of the citizens must be backed by lethal force, and forever, so they wrote it to be absolute and not subject to due proces short of another Amendment. That means rhetoric, gun laws, regulations on ammunition, and other devices. In writing the Second Amendment – and the eighth, ninth, tenth and fourteenth which support it – they were not forgetful of guns of the future, they were quite mindful of abuses of power of the future. The anti-violence movement had best take note that not everyone in government is against personal weapons. Many officials realize that the anti-gun movement is a boondoggle on various levels. In December, 2004, the United States Department Of Justice published an answer to the U.S. Attorney General's interrogatory on whether 2A was individual or collective. DOJ's answer was that 2A is an individual right, and they showed how and where. Militia is addressed on Page 24 of that document. See http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.pdf The Founders had just defeated not only abuses of power, but they defeated the army which enforced such abuses. It doesn't pass the test of reasonable expectation that they would write the new law of the land to hand the monopoly on force over to another Army. Army is another issue addressed elsewhere in the Constitution. Instead, they wrote that the monopoly on force resides in the hands of the citizens, then and always. In delegating some authority to a civilian controlled military, we never gave up any of our own authority. "The right of the people to keep and bear...arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country..." — James Madison, Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789. The abuses of power the Founders foresaw live today as this disarmament in the name of safe streets. Boondoggle. The Founders had their unsafe streets, too, and they wrote that the safest streets will always be where citizens are armed. Yes, the Militia. As long as people understand that Militia is the armed citizen and not military, it's good for the country. ______________________________________________ |

| The History of the Militia in the U.S. is one of Independence, true Independence, reinforced with layers of thoughtful debate, refinement, wisdom, guts and endurance. Militia and the armed citizen is the lethal force which backs our citizen authority against not only Invasion and not only Tyranny, but also the force of individual armed self-defense to impeach official boondoggles. In 2009, there are many. I suppose you could say that boondoggles such as anti-crime measures backed by official force while doing nothing about crime is a form of Tyranny, and to discredit those boondoggles, Militia goes as follows: The Militia within the meaning of the Second Amendment meant then and it means always the able-bodied everyman and further, to have arms both battery-ready and within reach at all times. From all the writings of the Founders in their Original Intent, it could not mean Miitary. Over the generations, there have been official legal bills to merge the citizen with the organized military (known as Militia Acts over time), but these would have to recognize first, of course, a difference between the organized Militia and the unorganized (everyman citizen) Militia before they could ever become one. That difference is officially recognized even today under Title 10 U.S. Code, Section 311, and further, the two have not been merged. The Founders loathed a standing army, and, having just defeated one and its centralization of power, were most unlikely to start another standing army, even their own. For them, their everyman body was sufficient to defend the nation from all adversity, always, and for them, the words of art well regulated was included within the language of the Second Amendment to mean self-regulated. Throughout all of the writings of the Founder, the framing era thinking was all about self-rule. Our whole country and way of life are about self-rule. The power and truth that Militia in Original Intent is the Citizen always is in the legal immunity from answering to the Commander-in-Chief of the United States. |
