+Sawyer Spainhoward Not to mention the Koreans during the L.A riots. They formed a militia and kept thier homes , businesses, and family safe from rioters. While the rioters destroyed thier own neighborhoods, the asian groups formed up to keep themselves safe. Its kinda funny, when you think about it. During Huricane Katrina, the police left, leaving militias and groups of people to protect thier homes and family. When the hurricane ended, and military returned, they took all the firearms (historical or not , they were all destroyed). After confiscation , gangs came in for 'revenge' on alot of the homes, and forced people to leave their once safe homes. imagine that, situations where criminals do not follow the law.

Trying to direct what they want your opinion to be/subliminal manipulation to arrive at a certain 'feeling' about the subject) Just a few examples.

"Historically, groups that have been armed - what good have they done?" They founded a country based on the rights of the common man. Ben Makuch's fatal error in this documentary is that he not only equates militias with some of the larger terrorist organizations, but also views it as a wicked thing to overthrow a government body that fails to respect the liberties of the people - yet it is this very thing that constructs quintessential American society, for as Thomas Jefferson stated, "I deem the supremacy of the civil over the military authority one of the essential principles of our government, and consequently one of those which ought to shape its administration." In a modernized country that has taught us to capitulate under federal authority, it is a common misconception that the government reign supreme over the civil - but this perspective is deleterious to fundamentally American principles, and must be revised. The militias are what make our country what it is. Under the amendments of the Constitution, they secure our liberties and defend the country's principles. This is their right, their freedom, and purpose, and because of this, I take great offense to Makuch's arrogant and uninformed statements. This is our country, and we mold it with our hands.

Nicholas Jarrett When people who don't know a lot about firearms talk about them, they always go overboard by calling AR-15's a high powered assault rifle, when really, they aren't considered, by the engineers that design them, to be "high powered". My pistol joke references how these people mistake, or most likely intentionally refer to these pistols this way for the purpose of shock value. When you say a gun is automatic, that means that you can hold the trigger down, and the mechanism is designed to rapidly fire, and eject the casing. My point is that certain people use the word automatic when it is truly semi-automatic. I really cannot tell you if a lot of reporters do this for shock value, or if they truly don't understand the difference. Maybe a little of both, I suppose. Oh, and sorry that this comment is so long.

[@first6digits]

+Nicholas Jarrett An "assault rifle" denotes select fire capability. ( semi auto AND full auto) which requires a class 3 license, which are very unattainable and extremely expensive. Also virtually zero of the legal class 3 firearms are used in crimes. The problem with most of the populations view on firearms is that their info is given to them by people who know nothing about firearms or do but choose to deceive them.

18:42 interesting how that guy is questioning "who are they afraid of" ... none of his business according to the constitution. I see that the official is not "just serving" ... he is interpreting and bringing his own oppinion to judge the citizens. I think the US constitution is always valide and never to be questioned and no citizen has to proof or justify anything regarding being FREE and being prepared to keep this FREEdom. The moment the government starts watching the militia the government prooves, that they don't trust their citizens and think about controlling them which is EXACTLY what the founding fathers wanted to prevent by granting the own citizens the full right to defend themselves to prevent arrogant governance sticking their nose into things they have no right for. I think the founding fathers of the US wanted exactly this to be prevented - every official being paid by citizens has to be serving the people. Nothing more. They are no more rights granted by the founding fathers. All the rights go to the people - being free. May it be to prevent far right or far left. If there is anybody controlling anybode then the people/citizens controlling the government - not "VICE" versa

[@douglaschild5209]

She offers an outsider perspective. She doesn't agree with their beliefs and she thinks they shouldn't be doing what they do, but she understands that she can't stop them either. This militia, from the footage, aren't doing anything illegal. They are doing what many Infantry units in the National Guard are doing, but in a much more relaxed setting and without the rank structure and without the organization. These men are there of their own free will. Perhaps what they need to do is be learning hand to hand fighting techniques, learning and then practicing in first aid/paramedic training and how to join a local neighborhood gym and lose about 75 lbs. I doubt they're eating salads and fruit out in the woods that weekend. I also doubt they are trudging along on a 10 mile ruck march through the snow either, nor could they if their life depended on it in a limited specified amount of time.

Well this was a very bias report in my opinion. For anyone who doesn't know what the Militia is please read this. We are not here to harm you or to cause trouble. We are your neighbors, co-workers, family, and friends. We are here to protect you and and your loved ones as well as your rights and liberties. The Militia from 1776 and today are no different. Being a Militia men for me is something I feel I am called upon to do and is a tradition for my family as my great grandfather 6 generations back came to America on a boat from Germany and along with his sister were the only members who survived the journey. He fought the British army and was a LT. Colonel of the PA Militia. He fought for your rights and mine. I ask you to please research what the Militia really is and not beleive this bullshit.

[@TheKnowledgeMan101]

Although I admire your desire to protect others. the idea you can protect everyone from the US government is just ridiculous in my opinon. Why?, because they're too powerful to just be easily overtaken by guns, I mean you people voted and funded for a strong military. Don't you think that you're also giving the government more power by doing this?, because the military obeys their commander in chief, which is the President, and they have weapons like drones that they can use to suppress any uprising. They don't even need to send in any men at all to easily eliminate you. So if you truly want to stand a chance of defending yourself against the government, advocate to reduce the military budget and reduce the army. This is why Thomas Jefferson was against the US having a standing army in the first place, he believed that a strong and powerful standing army would encroach on the freedoms and liberties of a free state.
