    So this is terrorism but they refuse to give terrorism charges to local militias?

      They also don’t charge people who blow up abortion clinics with terrorism either. They haven’t since the 60s - 70s.

      If you look it up the courts have been petitioned several times to associate abortion clinic bombings with Christian terrorism but they keep refusing to call it what it is.

      After reading about that fiasco I have very little faith our government actually has a working definition of terrorism that doesn’t shift at their convenience.

        Hardly shocking that the christofascist courts of America refuse to classify abortion clinic bombings as domestic terrorism.

      Local militias are perfectly acceptable as per the second amendment, as long as they’re “well regulated”, whatever that means…

        it means that it needs to be an actual maintained organization, not Jim bob and his buddies threatening anybody they don’t like. it’s also not a requirement, it’s only the reasoning provided.

          Well, that’s when Jim Bob and his friends can get together and form a neighborhood watch group and suddenly it’s perfectly legal.
