Yeah, so like I said, their purpose is to use violence against the government in defiance of law. It's a "solution" to government tyranny by enabling all kinds of petty tyrants - for example, the leader of these Hutarees.

Both the German Communists and the Nazis HAD militias, and the Nazis used their Brownshirts to help them get into power. Which is an argument *against* militias, not for them as you seem to think.
