I don't think militias are bad things in and of themselves. I could do without the racist idiots, but I think the racist organizations are in the minority. Just remember, in the eyes of the media, most of us could be considered gun toting, anti-government, militia types...

I'm pretty sure the King of England considered George Washington and his buddies as a dangerous, anti-government militia. Turns out he was right. Look how that turned out......
