...the Hutarees, like I said are the "outcast" militia because of their war mongering. They are the exception to the rule.

I'm not sure I understand what you meant by:
"their purpose is to use violence against the government in defiance of law."
The idea of the militia is to protect the citizens in case the government violates the law......or the constitution.

We don't hear much on the radio/TV about militias often. Why?
...Because they are typically non-violent.


Thanks for the little history lesson. Seriously, I forgot about that high school stuff.....but I was just using WW2 Germany as an example.
