The National Guard is the Organized Militia. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3538082 The "National" Guard is not the Organized Militia, it is a reserve branch of the Military...totally different.

From what I understand the people can come in during the daytime to get stuff. There is no running water, sewers are not working. No heat, no electricity. The houses are disgusting, all sorts of things floating around. ______________ As long as I am an American citizen and American blood runs in these veins I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write, and to publish whatever I please on any subject.” - Elijah Parish Lovejoy(1802-1837) All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent...Thomas Jefferson The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government...Thomas Jefferson When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty...Thomas Jefferson Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light...George Washington |

l3ol3o User ID: 10729761 United States 11/02/2012 03:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is one of the legit uses of Martial law. Restoring order after a natural disaster is perfectly fine in my eyes. God knows the police can't handle this shit on their own. Gangs have them outgunned. A show of force goes a long way to instill order during times of fear and panic such as after a Hurricane. People can do crazy shit during chaos hence the need for order. Looting would be the least of problems. Ayatollah Khomeini: “Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world…. Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender to the enemy? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Koranic] verses and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” |
