How do the Feds have authority over a private church?
It doesn’t appear this is limited to churches and is worded so broadly it could outlaw a boxing or MMA gym.
This is an obvious contradiction to the 2nd amendment.
We already have one.
Maybe Ed Markey and his twisted fascist crowd should move to one that would be more agreeable to them - like Red China!
What if there’s no obvious command structure? (No walkie-talkies, etc.) Some of the people at church have concealed carry; it would be up to them to fire or not if there was an incident.
Every member of Congress and the Senate is a bribe taking criminal, they only go there to get rich.
Your 10 thousand dollar fine is chicken feed to them; make it 10 million or a 100 million and you might get their attention.

The Army of Satan strikes again.
How would those Senate Democrats like a law that criminalizes THEIR armed security?
The Capitol police have killed more innocent people than any armed church security of which I am aware.
They should be forced to give up their security details.
Wouldn’t THEIR security details count under this law as well?
DOA
As long as you all do it separately and not part of a security team, this abomination should not apply to you.
We have several people in our congregation who carry. I am positive of one of them, and the rest I can guess by attendance at men's events that involve range time.
Live Free of Die, baby.

metmom: “ They [ the US Senate ] should be forced to give up their security details.
Wouldn’t THEIR security details count under this law as well? "
Specifically, the article stated : “ Sponsored in the U.S. Senate by Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) and cosponsored by Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA),
the Preventing Private Military Activity Act of 2024 widely defines a paramilitary group as any group of 3 or more persons who function under a command structure as a “security services unit.”
”If passed, the bill would make it illegal to “publicly patrol, drill, or engage in techniques capable of causing bodily injury or death.”
Power to enforce this law would be derived from the interstate commerce clause of the constitution,
as the proposed bill would be applicable whenever a church security team utilizes either weapons or ammunition
that have “traveled in interstate or foreign commerce,” a clause that applies to nearly every weapon and round of ammunition in circulation.
Additionally, even the act of training to engage in an activity that could cause bodily injury or death,
such as an active shooter drill, would be considered a violation of federal law under the proposal. “
(My Opinion) : "An armed society is a polite society " -- There is much wisdom in that statement .
There is nothing polite in the US Senate, that wants a disarmed community, nevertheless a religious community, to be sacrificed
Me thinks that the Senate have partaken too much of the barbarian Palestine wine, and are sotted with power.
This kind of tyrannical BS will be completely ignored once the Sleeper Cells coming in with the invaders are activated.
CARRY! CARRY EVERYWHERE! ALWAYS CARRY!
Church militia, huh? Yeah, right. More like modern day shepherds protecting their flocks from the wolves. Shame on them.
Lol- yhr bill says “the power to enforce... comes from co stitution”
Really? the very same constitution that the left ignore when it is convenient for them to do so?
They are so full of crap. There is nothing in the comstitution which prevents even civilian training. The bill itself is unconstitutional, yet they cite the constitution as their “power of enforcement”?
