Democrats Bring Bill to Prohibit Armed Citizen Militias
Democrat lawmakers are advancing legislation intended to prevent privately organized paramilitary and militia group activities within the United States.
Introduced by Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Thursday, the bill dubbed the “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act” would prohibit privately organized groups from “publicly patrolling, drilling, or engaging in harmful or deadly paramilitary techniques,” “interfering with or interrupting government proceedings,” or “interfering with the exercise of someone else’s constitutional rights,” according to Mr. Markey.
Their bills defines a “private paramilitary organization” as “any group of 3 or more persons associating under a command structure for the purpose of functioning in public or training to function in public as a combat, combat support, law enforcement, or security services unit.” The bill states acting with or on behalf of such a private paramilitary organization while armed with a firearm, explosive, incendiary device, or other dangerous weapon, and engaging in patrolling, training, interfering with government or constitutional rights, or assuming the functions of law enforcement without official authority.
The bill makes exceptions for members of the National Guard and other military reserve components, state guard forces, and members of other federal or state-organized groups to train in and apply paramilitary, law enforcement, and security service activity. The bill also allows for the organization of groups formed solely to conduct military reenactments, “bona-fide veterans organization with no intent to engage” in the aforementioned prohibited activities, and students in government or state-authorized educational institutions that teach military science.
Lawmakers Bring Bill in Response to Capitol Breach
Mr. Markey and Mr. Raskin introduced their legislation just days after the three-year anniversary of the breach at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a point they repeatedly referenced in a press release announcing the bill.
“Patrolling neighborhoods, impeding law enforcement and storming the U.S. Capitol, private paramilitary groups like the Oath Keepers, the Three Percenters and the Proud Boys are using political violence to intimidate our people and threaten democratic government and the rule of law,” Mr. Raskin said. “Our legislation makes the obvious but essential clarification that these domestic extremists’ paramilitary operations are in no way protected by our Constitution.”
Though rioters and demonstrators did not use firearms or other deadly weapons during the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, many did use blunt objects and pepper spray in clashes with police officers that day. Some individuals have also been charged for having firearms and other deadly weapons on their person while on Capitol grounds that day. In trials against members of the Oath Keepers and other defendants, prosecutors made note of members of the group moving through the crowds in an apparent practiced and organized fashion frequently described as a “stack” formation, as well as wearing tactical gear, and using portable communication devices to stay in contact and coordinate their actions.
“Three years ago, white supremacists affiliated with paramilitary organizations stormed the U.S. Capitol, shattering windows, walls, and the families of five U.S. Capitol police officers,” said Mr. Markey. “Private paramilitary actors, such as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, pose a serious threat to democracy and the rule of law, and we must create new prohibitions on their unauthorized activities that interfere with the exercise of people’s constitutional rights. The forces of bigotry, hatred, and violent extremism must be stopped for the sake of our democracy.”
Prior to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, members of the Proud Boys had organized at conservative and right-leaning gatherings and demonstrations and clashed with violent counter-demonstrators—often members of the Antifa extremist group—intent on disrupting those gatherings.
Other Armed Organizations and Incidents
Following the death of George Floyd, a black man, in Minneapolis police custody in 2020, many left-wing groups organized in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and engaged in protests and riots throughout the summer of 2020. At various demonstrations, members of these groups often clashed with police officers. For weeks, rioters also threw fireworks, incendiary devices, and rocks at federal officers guarding a federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon.
During a political rally in support of President Donald Trump in Portland on Aug. 29, 2020, Trump supporters were met with violent counterprotesters. Trump supporter Aaron Danielson was shot and killed while walking to a parking garage following the event. In an interview with Vice News while evading law enforcement, self-described Antifa activist Michael Reinhoel described shooting Danielson while claiming he acted in self-defense. Reinhoel was charged with murder but was shot and killed during a confrontation with federal law enforcement officers attempting his arrest.
Mr. Markey and Mr. Raskin made no mention of any left-leaning organizations while announcing their bill on Thursday. Mr. Raskin told The Washington Times that the legislation was not written with a particular ideological viewpoint in mind.
During the civil unrest in the summer of 2020, some armed groups organized to protect private property from looting and vandalism. Several armed individuals organized to prevent property destruction at a gas station and used car lot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, amid rioting and arson in the city in August of 2020. It was during that incident that an individual who had joined the armed organized group, then-17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, shot and killed two people and wounded a third. Mr. Rittenhouse was charged with murder, but was acquitted after arguing he had acted in self-defense after he had been attacked by several individuals who’d targeted private property and who’d chased after him, struck him, and pointed a firearm at him.
Individuals have also engaged in non-violent protest events while exercising their rights to carry firearms in public under relevant state and local laws.
NTD News reached out for comment from Mr. Markey and Mr. Raskin, with questions as to whether their legislation would impact organized groups of individuals guarding private property, participating in neighborhood watch groups, or attending nonviolent public demonstrations while armed. They did not respond by press time.
This week, U.S. Circuit Judge Florence Pan, an appointee of President Joe Biden, raised the hypothetical scenario of a president ordering the military to assassinate political rivals. NTD News asked Mr. Markey’s office whether groups that organize and train to respond to that scenario and other hypothetical scenarios involving tyrannical government action would be punished under his proposed legislation.

“Three years ago, White supremacists affiliated with paramilitary organizations stormed the U.S. Capitol, shattering windows, walls, and the families of five U.S. Capitol police officers,” said Mr. Markey.
And they wonder why the Whites will not enlist in an army that hates them.
The FBI are White supremacists affiliated with paramilitary organizations? Who knew?
“Stormed” . . . sheesh . . . a few good men and women assembled peaceably to petition the gummint for a redress of grievances.
Jo, spin macheen on full, mang.
Not a winning disposition, gonna let em take it w some trannys n 3rd worlders? Watch what happens then.
SECOND AMENDMENT
’nuff said
“A well regulated…”
Are these words a problem?
Not if the original meaning of the word is used. “Well Regulated” used to mean properly functioning or smoothly running. As in a well regulated machine. It is only recently that it has come to mean “Under Regulation of Law” or severely restricted or government sanctioned.
The term ‘regulated’ also meant properly equiped.
And “YOU” were responsible for equipping yourself…
No Problemo, cuz. I’m strapped and my shit is custom, nigger!
Yes. The idea of regulation as a government function did not appear until well after the war of southern secession. Well regulated as appeared in the second amendment meant well equipped, well trained and well controlled..
“The War of Southern Secession”?
Followed by the war of Northern aggression…
If I could change one thing about the Civil War it would be the ‘Hot Heads’ taking the Fort Sumter BAIT!
Nah. If it hadn’t been that particular provocation, another one was probably planned. Lincoln was going to have his war, one way or another.
It was all about fondling King Cotton’s Balls and who got the issue as a result.
Trying to be nice about it, but anything else is a lie, or an excuse.
ALWAYS follow the money.
I tried following the Science once. It led me back to the money.
That was one hell of a metaphor dude! “King Cotton’s Balls”
Fuck you AND the war of northern aggression! You NEED your ass regulated.
In this instance, “regulated” carries the same meaning as “ordered”… as in “characterized by logical design”.
Lemme bottom line it fo ya…if you’re in your right mind, you better be strapped up. Because there’s already plenty who aren’t in their right minds…and they’re ALREADY strapped up!
This is just a tactical ploy to be able to arrest the organized folks before the real unpleasantness begins in earnest…..the DS is just seeking a tool for the war to come…..think Bleeding Kansas in the 1850s. Though the takeover of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass TX is a small step in the right direction by the Gov of TX. Now let’s see him get serious and start turning the illegals back or shooting them instead of just being an extra step in processing into the country. The troubles are here and April 12 1861 is likely to happen at any moment (bombardment of Ft. Sumter)……
This time around “Red Legs” is going by the moniker, “Fat Ass.”
Whatev’s, Daryll. Watching the movie doesn’t make you Jose Wales.
Ball Peen Hammer,
The only “(bombardment of Ft. Sumter)……” Will be another False Flag like JAN. 6th.
See my answer to Snowleopard.
It fits him and you.
Except of course this time the Federals will attack first and often…thus the point of this article. We want a Boston Massacre to push more folks off the fence into active resistance
Yes we need martyrs……Ruby Ridge at scale……
You volunteering? I’ll follow…if it works!
I would say it is an attempt to criminalize neighborhood defensive groups that will inevitably spring up in response to millions of illegals, many of whom are already involving themselves in crime. Hard to impose anarcho tyranny when the targets of that tyranny are prepared to kill your minions.
Mr. Markey and Mr. Raskin. can BLOW ME!!!
Who would that humiliate more? Asking for your friends.
Also, at that time, trained soldiers used to be called “regulars”.
There are a lot of Regulars who are now FED UP ‘Ill-Regulars’.
(Every pun intended).
AWAKE, Pure Bloods, and seriously experienced/defiant/armed/prepped…what is the percent???
Who knows? (Outside of God).
Only those who really live in that category really know.
Maybe ‘Valdez is Coming’ really isn’t just an old movie metaphor in some ways.
Dammit! You found a gap in my eidetic memory. Now I’ve got to stream that movie to see it again.
Of least stature (politically and theologically) were the mercenaries. The Hessians. Godless curs. But we murdered THEM on Christmas Day before dawn, so…it all worked out!
SCOTUS covered all this in Heller. The Democrats’ proposed law is clearly unconstitutional.
“It is therefore entirely sensible that the Second Amendment ’s prefatory clause announces the purpose for which the right was codified: to prevent elimination of the militia. The prefatory clause does not suggest that preserving the militia was the only reason Americans valued the ancient right; most undoubtedly thought it even more important for self-defense and hunting. But the threat that the new Federal Government would destroy the citizens’ militia by taking away their arms was the reason that right—unlike some other English rights—was codified in a written Constitution.” — Scalia from Heller
Law, like Science, is never “settled”, regardless of what lie you choose to tell yourself…Daryll.
The power to give is the power to take. You are a fool to trust ANY of them.
You don’t know what the term meant at the time. So shut the hell up. Stupid is no way to go through life.
Man. This voting shit is whacked. It would seem that the days of knowing your audience are pretty much over…not that it really matters. It is interesting and instructive though…a window into the future, as it were.
We’re ALL Dave Chappelle now!
Self-regulated is not over-regulated.
It sure isn’t when I do it! I’m pretty lenient with myself and that’s a fact!
O fuk! I just did a racism! I justified my white privilege.
IDK. Do you consider yourself “well regulated”?
If the answer is “yes”, you have no problem. And neither does anyone else.
If the answer is “no”? In that case I think the 2nd Amendment would be the least of your concerns. And it would also be a matter of grave concern to all of society…such as it may be.
‘Nuff said, indeed.
The time for talking is over.
Settle down there, Daryl.
I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few public officials.
-George Mason
…in other words…a TRUE DEMOCRACY.
No, that’d be a jury of one’s peers, fully informed, with full veto/nullification powers.

I’ll be fucked! One person actually got it!
And thank you for that 26th down vote. That’s the effort I expect from now on!
Yes. That’s what I got when I read it.

I’m confused.
Government is trying to provoke civil war.
Between the insouciant and the unsouciant.
Don’t forget Sue’s aunt. She’s a real bitch.
I’ma give you that one. It shows basic competency in humor and the ability to integrate it into current events.
Plus one.
Raskin was key in prosecuting Trump impeachment. No ideological viewpoint my ass!
Both of them are lying fuckin’ cocksuckers!
What they’re saying is their paramilitary groups, Antifa, BLM, Black Panthers, etc., are perfectly legal while your militias aren’t. It’s OK if we oppress you, but it’s not OK for you to resist them.
Just more stand over there by the ditch so we can shoot you in the back of the head BS.
They are removing police and military protection and outlawing self protection.
This sounds like a declaration of war against citizens???
It’s the Venezuela model. The government sends goons to disarm people who just want to defend themselves from miscreants while the miscreants are allowed to roam free.
That in a nutshell is the definition of anarcho tyranny.
I never liked that term. If Venezuela was an anarchy there would be no cops to disarm the good citizens who would then be free to take down the criminal population. Problem solved.
The tyranny in such case is perpetuated by government.
Yes, it is an oxymoron. The two term are diametrically opposed.
Wordies has became meaningless Dude!
Oh, Daryl, you jealous little bitch! You want to be on the aggressive end of the dildo, don’t ya? I KNEW there was something creepy about you from the start and there it is!
BWAHAHA!!!
He’s some kind of fucker. I’m not sure if Mom plays into it or not…but we can’t rule it out procedurally.
So, how does one identify as a miscreant? Blend in.
So…America writ large?
The hurdle you had to cross, MC, was convincing me that these lunatics are actually smart enough to experience fear. In that, I fear, you failed. All those assholes TRULY BELIEVE they are actually ten feet tall and bullet proof. Seriously. They all act like belligerent drunkards all the time…not to mention that half of them are straight up fags.
No, Mary. Their ilk is too stupid to experience fear…until it is far too late.
Blessed be the downvoters, for they shall inherit THIS shit hole!
They should name their bill The Keep Politicians from Hanging in Trees act.
Jews in USSA gov: Guns are BAD! Take them away from the Nazis. And give Israel more money.
Jews in Israel: Guns are GOOD! Give us more guns and bombs to defend Ashkenazis. And we demand moar money.
REVELATIONS 2:9 and 3:9 say’s it all
What ‘REVELATIONS’? The book is The Revelation of Jesus Christ. Just sayin’.
Is this so their nigger mobs can loot and burn cities unmolested Nov 6?
A million lone wolfs are their biggest fear.
The assholes ‘in government’ (I.e. anyone who receives a paycheck based upon the theft of others thru taxation) have no authority over anyone because ‘authority’ doesn’t exist in nature, it’s a mind-virus. From whence came this ‘authority’, a piece of paper? We are literally living in a world full of people live-action-rollplaying and the ones who point this psychosis out are ridiculed.
Authority exists in the family structure. Government hijacks that role but doesn’t care for individuals the way their families do. How could they? They don’t know us and openly dislike us.
I agree with you.
“Democrats Bring Bill to Prohibit Armed Citizen Militias”
And if you don’t comply they’ll send the regulars to march on Lexington.
The did not say anything about the bois starting private hunting and fishing clubs. Always carry your hunting /fishing license and a fishing pole when out with your friends in the woods. Have some fly fishing lures hooked in your boonie hat. The camo paint on your face is just to confuse the bass and crappie. Keep a small tackle box in your magazine pouch.
I like the way you think.
God loves a multi-tasker.

your consent is void and compliance is non-obligatory

Mr. Markey and Mr. Raskin. can BLOW ME!!!
They are liberals. Don’t tempt them.
You have a funny way of defining what is befitting a freeman or people. But it seems you should like what we are getting and they are wanting.

TPTB don’t want any competition for their standing army of armed government employees…those EPA officials are a little trigger happy anyway I hear…
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” I just don’t understand how they think they can override this common sense statement unless they intend, as Government do, to regulate it out of existence.
I can’t call any group of Americans a “militia” when any participant can pull an Eric Cartman and say, without consequences, “Screw you guys, I’m going home.”
The title is an absurd Christcuck rationalization that the Christcucks hold dear as they lose everything in sloooooooooow mooooooooowwshtion.
NWO: “Line up in front of the big, long ditch.”
Christcuck: “See, they’re afraid of us.”
Organisms that won’t defend themselves deserve to go extinct. The abuse of our masters can only get worse. The Constitution has failed as a magic talisman. It is inanimate and does not give a fuck about you. That figment of your master might care, but it is no more powerful than you are. lfmao
Why the play-by-play fascination with the inevitable? I would be surprised if they did not debauch and weaken us more, and more, and more, and more unto the terminus of this life. Yah, I did not read the piece. I’m protecting the mental health I might have left. I hope you enjoyed my catharsis.
More like chronic whiny self pity then catharsis.
You must be a blast at parties…
He’s a blast at parties, he’s the turd in the punch bowl.
there won’t be any parties in your gulag bitch
well keyboard warrior you are slowly being boiled alive by the NWO. Your kids gonna end up poor and raped by migrants via your government. Fucking denier
I’m sure the Black militia “NFAC” (not fucking around coalition) will get a carve out…you know, to protect marginalized communities, or some similar BS.

Dang! No more rooftop Koreans?
The democrat party is an ongoing criminal enterprise and its officeholders could ll be charged under RICO statutes. Of course, the GOP officeholders could also be charged as accessories.
They are NOT afraid of us. Why on Earth should they be? They can destroy the nation in front of our eyes and we do nothing. They are laughing at us.
Jews will always push for what they can get away with with no regard for law of any kind.
