  • Almost everything you said is correct, but you forgot that a militia is not a military organization, they are paramilitary and are still civilians. Legal definition of a militia does not mention requirements of age or health. National Guard is a military organization that is funded by public tax dollars and mandates specific ages and health.

    Because of this fact, militia are only mandated by the US Constitution to be “well regulated” so that when a state governor calls them to action, they need to form and follow a chain-of-command, which requires the ability to train with their firearms on their own personal time and their own dime (they are legally not allowed to be a burden to the taxpayers in any way, unlike the state National Guard).

    So this means unrestricted access to commercial firearms and the freedom to train on federal land or private property with their own personally owned (not government issue) weapons.
















  • “Conspicuous gallantry” is the key word in all of them. They get rejected so easily if they have bad or inaccurate writing in them, that it takes decades and Pentagon as well as congressional approval including thousands of people throughout the process reading the citations on the award before getting the stamp of approval.

    It means the dudes that earned them did something so absolutely fucking brave in the face of 100% certain death to save their battle-buddy or win an engagement with the enemy, that only someone with very specific and slight insane suicidal state of mind would even dream of considering. No one normal in regular combat earns a Medal of Honor.

    Fuck Trump.
