Not to nitpick, but this is a republic, not a democracy. There is a difference and it does play a major role in your argument.



I've said what I've said. I'll freely admit it was much more of a devil's advocate response from me, but the notion stands. I wouldn't bother posting if I didn't think I'd get at least a modicum of intelligent discourse out of it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Many states have have militias already:

State defense forces (SDF) (also known as state guards, state military reserves, or state militias) in the United States are military units that operate under the sole authority of a state government; they are partially regulated by the National Guard Bureau but they are not a part of the Army National Guard of the United States.[1] State defense forces are authorized by state and federal law and are under the command of the governor of each state.

Militias don't depend upon privately armed citizens anyway. The weapons are organized and stockpiled. People that are truly worried about federal tyranny should be advocates for their own state militias, or if they live in a state without one they should be advocating for the establishment of one.
