What you should do is avoid the word Militia and those that play around with it. What you are likely to join with is an organization with government informants. You don't have to commit any crime, just say anything they can make a conspiracy charge out of and that will happen.

It is a stupid game. You are better off making prudent precautions with your neighbors and friends than playing Militia.

Good idea. In fact, why not excise all the other words that are found in the U.S. Constitution that the assorted Quislings, cowards, and enemies, foreign and domestic don't care for.

Oh wait: that's what's brought us to this point....

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 ...

“you are likely to join with is an organization with government informants.”

An above ground militia/survival group/any so called right wing site (like FR) is going to have gov. informants, IMHO.
I think you can “speak” to them (without knowing who they are) in meetings by sticking to Constitutional principles and what a free country is, contrasting with the dem-o-rats and the marxists/fellow travellers/useful idiots.

"You are better off making prudent precautions with your neighbors and friends than playing Militia."

Indeed. Perhaps, like the Army, a "Militia of One" is the way to go.

You argue against anyone joining a Militia today. I think that you are correct.

While the Militia at one time was a key to our freedom, there’s no Militia today,

That’s because original Militia under local control morphed into the National Guard under state control, which morphed into just another federal armed force. Remember that the President can call the National Guard into federal service at his pleasure.

It would take a Constitutional ammendment to return a Militia to the US, which would be a very good thing!

A group of people meeting once a week is, sadly, not a Militia. It is a target for federal prosecution.

SnuffaBolshevik mentioned that the best thing a patriot cound do is become a Militia-of-one. IMHO, that’s an excellent and practical suggestion.

Very true.

Militia groups, the self defined ones, are usually under surveillance. Some for good reasons, most because the work “militia” equals “Terrorists” to many government agencies.
