A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

I think it's very acceptable that local law enforcement turn over these documents to the federal government. So that when "law abiding gun owners " decide to start slaughtering their fellow countrymen by the gross, those of us who actually have a sense of unity with our fellow citizens know who these traitors are.

*Bold and Underline added to remind people of the first part of this important sentence.
Yet, when individuals try to form local militias for the sake of being prepared (as the Constitution itself states) to defend themselves (as being part of the citizenry) they are demonized as home-grown terrorists?
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

That is because the Constitution dictates:
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
The citizens aren't constitutionally allowed to create their own Militias, if they would prescribe to the will of Congress and have an officer appointed by the states, it would be a different story.
And if it actually would be provided yes. But it never even gets to that point before being branded a "terrorist organization" and all the negative connotations associated with it too.

That's because the sole purpose of these "militias" is to train to slaughter their fellow countrymen. That's the only thing these people are working towards. Their ideals equate to the taliban on so many levels the only real difference is what they call their primary deity.

Well, now that is an erroneous and blanket statement. How can you state unequivocally that ll militias are for that purpose? I am open to your explanation here.

You know what? I'm sorry, not all militias are just taliban esque thugs hell bent on shooting their fellow countrymen. Some are xenophobic relics hell bent on blowing away anyone who speaks spanish.
Sorry for my mistake
