What now of the Miltia Movement?
I got to thinking lately, that in light of recent events in our country has (or will) the militia movement become more acceptable? And should it?
I think that like many American gun owners, I've had no interest in joining an organization that might promote strident anti-government views, and/or exist as a cover organization for Kluxers and neo-Nazi's. But I have to admit that the idea of being able to network with other law abiding citizens who believe in the 2nd Amendment seems to be reasonable and rational.
Has the MM evolved? Have many of it's members either refined their organizations and weeded out the Tim McVeigh types, or have the die hard's simply taken their orgs deeper underground? You sure don't seem to hear much about them anymore, and that seems peculiar, as we've reached a time in our history when you would think they could conceivably be at their strongest.
When I think about the people who are members on this board (mostly former TFL'ers like myself), I must admit that if I thought I could become a member of a network of many who post here (from all over the country), I can't see a real negative side to an affiliation like that. Am I off base here? geegee
