A MORE COMPLETE MILITIA


In light of the SCOTUS decision on our 2nd Amendment God given right, I propose that we, the people of the United States of America, demand our politicians to eliminate all publicly funded Police forces in the US, and replace them with citizen militias.

We will supply our own guns, ammo, body armor, uniforms and patrol vehicles, the government will train us (well regulated). An all volunteer force to maintain order, in times of emergency and peace. There are over 100,000 CCW carriers here in the state of my residence. I would suspect that a goodly number of these folks and others would volunteer for our own security sakes.

Under this plan, taxes can be completely eliminated that relate to inter city/state security. Police force corruption will be removed. Police brutality will be removed. People will no longer be harassed over the most ignorant of causes anymore.

Since the entire US population would now be armed(as should be)and well trained, the need for immediate response will decline. Neighborhoods that were once given up for lost will be regained, drug corruption on the streets will cease, and any threat of any tyrannic force, either foreign or domestic, will ebb away forever. This militia could patrol our borders, no longer would the people of our sovereign states be at the mercy of foreign drug lords and gun runners. Our borders again will be sovereign, guarded not by political forces, but by the flesh and blood who actually live there and have everything to lose.

Personal responsibility for our homes, neighborhoods, towns, states. All this adding up to 50 states worth of well trained citizens.

Very interesting thoughts. No one in this country would go for it since it would mean taking responsibility for your personal safety, your property and your community and relinquishing dependence on the government.

If you don't mind, I'd like to link to your blog on my blog.

Well, incrementally I think this is plausible, at least as far as getting folks to operate in neighborhood watches, etc. I see it as a reintroduction of the neighbors looking out for one another approach. A defense of overlapping caring folks. Communication is the key here.

Two neighbors and myself have introduced this concept to our block and it has met with approval.

I would agree to such a plan on two conditions.

(1) That such an organization would indeed be a "militia", organized within the confines of the original intent of the Founding Fathers.

(2) The commanding officers be elected by the people.

The first condition is because I don't advocate creating an American version of the so-called "brown-shirts".

The second is so that the Powers-That-Be cannot "appoint" whomever they wish to command such a group for their own purposes.

Otherwise, splendid!
