#1 Open carry is a disaster waiting to happen. Just my two cents worth.

#2 Kristallnacht preceded the concentration camps.

See, Antifa, for all their ills, focuses on low-level stuff. They wreck buildings, sure, but they’re not talking about a large-scale terrorist operation on American shores.

The argument that " 'They' are not not talking about" is a child whistling past a graveyard. The totality of all of these riots IS a "large scale terrorist operation". Luckily no firestorm has swept through an urban center.

#3 How does he know they're not planning a large-scale terror act?

#4 but they’re not talking about a large-scale terrorist operation on American shores

Putz.
Communications, recruitment, logistics planning and practice are the fist phase.

#5 They have been shown to be in contact with Hezbollah and the Real IRA in Germany. But what they have done here, complete with substantial financing and logistics is enough for me.

#6 Militias should probably answer to the governor of the state.

That would be the State Guard,that already exists in many states. These guy are not in that category.

#7 Well, it would appear there are those on the anarchist/BLM Left that are not so good at keeping to low level actions

#8 They have been shown to be in contact with Hezbollah and the Real IRA in Germany.

Here they are getting financing from one of the Red Chinese consulates in Texas in addition to all the support they get from Mr. Soros and his domestic Progressive multibillionaire buddies. One needn’t go to West Point to read Army manuals about small war and guerrilla war tactics. Nor be a conservative to join the Marines, as we just discovered about one of the miscreants who plotted to kidnap the governor of Michigan.

#9 Just a reminder with everyone throwing the term around.

10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Dear journalists, governors, et al.

If they're American males between 17 and 45, they're already members of the militia IAW the powers of the Legislative Branch as defined in the Constitution, Article I, Section 8 -

Congress shall have the power...

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

#10 Not sure who wrote this but the so called militia was an anarchist group, antifa supporters. They are more a product or inspired by antifa, and are more closely aligned to antifa than the buzz word "militia" the press call them, all four of them.
