Americans who support the Constitution and wanted to protect their communities need to put away Pride and firmly drawn idealistic lines and look at the bigger picture... what the militia is according to our founding fathers. We must look beyond the pride of a single group to the bigger picture of what do we do in real terms to prepare our local communities not just to fight possible tyrants but for natural disasters and anything else that would come against us. We need to look to the writings of those that lived this and formed our nation.
