Az. Senator Jack Harper re-proposes his 2007 bill establishing an official state militia
Chip SaundersWith groups of concerned citizens already taking to the field to patrol the border and interupt border incursions, some say the state should bring them into the fold and provide some order and safety.
It's about time, I'm sure there'd be more militia then N.G. in the state.
Test comment.
I don't believe that this new proposal is from Senator Harper but is a HOAX. I don't believe that Sen. Harper would include Line 3 (C) which states that AZ 50 Caliber Assn would provide "cover" inferring protective or counter-sniper fire be provided. Besides, there is no AZ 50 Caliber Association that I am aware of.
Senator Harper is up for re-election in a couple months and I doubt that this type of potentially provacative and prejudicial language would be used.
Perhaps Senator Harper would be so kind as to validate or deny this newest proposal.
For the most part I don't trust the Federalized States much more than I do the Feds.
I would much rather see the militia led at the county level perhaps by the county sheriff with no stigma attached to independent militias.
How about an AZ constitutional amendment that grants all militia members (everyone) the right to own any weapon used by the standing army?
