The media has demonized "militia" into an "evil" word. Every man between 18 and 45 is part of the militia by law.

Faire said the county shut down the gun range, citing violation of commercial zoning laws. But he believes the county clamped down because of one man -- Andrew Gray, a convicted felon who faces federal weapons and drug charges. So a lone imbecile showing up at a range is grounds for shutting it down?
I'm wondering if there has ever been corruption at the county commission. If so, it should be shut down.

If you shut down every governmental body that has seen corruption, you’d have to shut down Chicago. And the entire state of Illinois. And the Congress. And this White House...

Last time the government got worried about "militia" we would up with this:
Obama will make the Clinton's look like mere pikers in the end

only when applicable to white non muslim.
the FBI under the direction of our first Muslim president steers away from any muslim enclave likewise exercising their 2nd adm. rights.

At least they closed this down without a sniper putting a bullet in the eye of a mother holding her baby.
I would much prefer they direct this effort to close down the Islamic terror training camps in and around Detroit. Maybe if we called them Islamic Citizens Militias and called the Mosques “compounds”, they would get the attention of the Feds.

WTFO??!!
The story describes this facility as an outdoor shooting range, yet somehow the headline morphed into a “militia training camp”. Big difference between the two and there is nothing presented in this story to justify that kind of inflammatory label.
Typical Pugetopolis Media...

I have considered joining an organized militia unit, but all of the self identified “Militia members” I have run into have been full blown nut jobs.

“An informant” says it’s a militia training camp and it’s shut down? By any chance is the “informant” The Mickey Mouse registered to vote just prior to the last presidential election?

There is a problem with the silencer; government does not like those and applies an enhancement on any penalty for possession.
I know this well, because I was just on a jury concerning a case involving silencers. We convicted a former FBI agent of such possession and other crimes.

It’s too bad the FBI doesn’t put its energies into investigating the 35 terrorist training camps currently set up and running inside the US by the Muslims of America (Jamaat al Fuqra). These camps are documented in a DVD available from the Christian Action Network at http://www.christianaction.org/.
I would love to see FReepers order these and send them to their congresscritters.
To: Loud Mime
Likewise, possessing an illegal silencer is a far cry from operating a militia training camp...

Maybe many Andrew Grays will show up at every gun range in the US.
After all, the Chi-town mafia is running the show now.

There are Islamic training camps in the U.S. that aren’t being raided. I suppose a Jihadi militia is ok.

Gray has been freed on bail. He is due in court on Thursday. If Gray is such a dangerous militia member, why is he free on bail?
I would suspect that the entire case stems from someone who recently moved from the SeaTac area into a house near the range. Check the credentials of the "informant", if possible.

The actual paranoid types that are part of most organized militia groups can SOUND a lot like some of us sometimes. It makes it disturbingly easy for the feds to jump to conclusions.

Gee—good thing no “convicted felons” living in inner-city ghettoes or barrios have any guns—otherwise the cops and gov’t might have to go after them.......
