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.


"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." --- 2nd Amendment to Constitution

The folks backing that bill should be fired instantly and then proceeded for breaking the oath of their office with malicious intent.

Yeah, Markey and Raskin. Who'd of thought.

So the "Neighborhood Watch" program would fall under this? This world gets dumber by the day.

Sounds like any rent-a-cop business would be banned also.
Going nowhere.

Boy Scouts?

Moosetrot

Sounds Treasonous of them!!!

Those 2 are truly idiots.

I see a multitude of 2 man militias in the future.

Take our guns, free speech, fuel, currency, food, elections what could they be up to?

Talk with your neighbors,..whisper with your friends.

And who says the left doesn't understand the Second Amendment?

They know its not going anywhere. They are just squawking for votes.

Scary……..

All personal security organization would be prohibited. There goes their bodyguards. Wonder if they thought of that!

Well they are democrats.

I don't get the need to be in a group.

I understand the need for numbers, but if it goes down I am prepared to defend my family and my place. ANTIFA, MAGA Militias, BLM, the Reds, ragheads and whoever will find the distance between my gate and home a perilous trek. We'll give them heck even if they overrun the place.

Anyway, the proposed bill is stupid grandstanding.

The need for citizen organization and action is at an all time high to counter both organized and unorganized crime because law enforcement has been rendered ineffective by liberal policies. In order to ensure citizen dependence on government, liberals want to make it illegal for citizens to act in their own interest.

The proposal is clearly unconstitutional, but when has that ever bothered the liberals?

Shooting matches, gun clubs, hunt clubs, neighborhood watches, church security volunteer groups, etc would all be illegal.

Don't u love how bc throwed in the MAGA in with his bunch
of buddies...lol...lll...lol
U suck as bad as james

Better have plenty of food and water on hand if your going to hole up at home. Starving to death while under siege would be a worse way to go than a bullet.
