Folks, I'm getting on my soapbox again. In America, unions are too hobbled by labor laws. Guess what isn't really regulated in any way? Militias. Form a militia. Don't go on strike, everybody just takes the day off for militia training which is done right out front, marching with rifles.
You know what gets regulated real fast when leftists exercise their second amendment (pfft) rights? Militias
Eventually, sure. Regulating them is probably good since about 99% of them are blatant white nationalists. I'm sure the pushback would be mostly against leftists or labor organizers, but the existing militias would take some damage too.
Law existing and law being applied are different things. There is no case the police would raid a white supremacist militia because they probably run it
Why avoid forming militias because they might be banned or regulated?
It's the being arrested or murdered that deters people. And by the time corporate media is done with you, everyone will think you were in a terrorist cell.
I mean, if the militia is marching with red and black flags and stuff without a doubt you're right. I think there's an assumption a lot of people are making that I'm suggesting forming a communist militia, but that's not the case - the militia would absolutely have to be outwardly apolitical.
No doubt - and to be clear, I don't think the answer to labor organization is always a militia, and it's definitely not an explicitly left militia. The only situation where this would work is an outwardly non-political (in the American sense) militia
this is not true. at least in my state, forming a militia and marching with rifles outside your workplace is quite illegal and will get you v&d
20 ILCS 1805:
If you want to use your gun rights for spectacular purposes Black Panthers style, you have to actually know the law like they did. Please read your specific state's laws before you do anything in this area, there are probably lots of pitfalls.
Georgetown law:
Certainly, states with more restrictive gun laws will likely have more restrictive laws on militias. In my state there's no restrictions. It's probably also worth noting that "activities reserved for the state militia" would be well outside performing regular drills with your co-workers.
In Illinois performing regular drills with your coworkers is an activity reserved for state and other approved militias. In other states state-only activities are just making arrests and other cop shit. If you've checked the laws in your jurisdiction have at it, I just want to put a huge warning out to people that in many parts of the US militias are super illegal (for leftists at least) and you have to actually read the law to know what you're dealing with.
Do you know that for a fact? I'm not certain that that's actually true. In fact I'm pretty sure all of them are (probably) illegal.
2nd amendment. Maybe the one useful thing we can get out of it.
I don't think there's any reason they couldn't do that, legally
