Why do people keep trying to say being a part of the "unorganised militia" gives them any sort of "right"?

Come on, people, how seriously stupid are you?  I mean it shouldn't take too much brainpower on your part to figure out if something ISN'T ORGANISED that it might not be very useful.

Sedentary, reserve, inactive, unorganised, general (or other term indicating INACTIVITY) Militia, has always been unorganized and untrained and being a part of that body gives you fuck all in terms of a "right".

Seriously, is that too hard a concept for you people to come to grips with, or is it because your IQ is below normal that you figure you must be "normal" in some way?

And while you have glommed on to 10 USC §311(b)(2) because it say you are part of some sort of militia, you haven't grasped that the actual implementation of that law is found in the various state call out provisions.

Here are some examples:
New York:
New York Military - Article 1 - § 6-A Organizations and Volunteers From the Unorganized Militia:
§ 6-a. Organizations and volunteers from the unorganized militia. To the extent permitted by the constitution of the United States, the governor may, at any time, order, authorize or recognize such organizations of the unorganized militia, or of designated classes thereof, or of volunteers therefrom, as he may deem to be for the public interest, and may prescribe therefor such parts of the regulations governing the organized militia as may be applicable thereto or establish such regulations therefor, or both, as he may deem proper. The governor may, at any time, provide for the separate organization, or authorize the enlistment in organizations of the unorganized militia, of persons volunteering for such service, not otherwise subject to military duty under section two of this chapter.
In short, the unorganised militia is just that, unorganised.  It is an inactive component of the militia--its role is to provide manpower should the militia not have enough members, or need to replenish its strength.

It is the equivalent of saying that being subject to the draft makes one a member of the serving military.

Then again, you lot seem to think Ted Nugent is some form of super patriot, which might explain why you belive the sort of bullshit that being a part of the "unorganised militia" makes you anything other than a fool when you try to say that you are actually a serving member of any serious military force.

or claim any military duties, obligations, or rights based upon that status.
The militia of the state shall be divided into the organized militia, the retired list and the unorganized militia, which together shall constitute the state military forces. The organized militia shall be composed of: an army national guard and an air national guard which forces, together with an inactive national guard, shall comprise the Alabama National Guard; the Alabama Naval Militia; and the Alabama State Guard, whenever any such force is organized by the Governor pursuant to existing laws. The National Guard, army or air, shall consist of such organizations and units as the commander in chief may from time to time authorize to be formed, all to be organized in accordance with the laws of the United States affecting the National Guard, army and air, and the regulations issued by the appropriate Secretary of the Department of Defense. - See more at: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/alcode/31/2/31-2-3#sthash.2hhEPhwG.dpuf

  1. Some of these nut job militias think they can act on their own using their own definition of what constitutes a wrong; citing the government it self as being oppressive against their perceived rights.
    I can envision a Governor giving authority to a militia group that is negligent in its treatment of citizens and their constitutional rights.

  3. "It is the equivalent of saying that being subject to the draft makes one a member of the serving military."

    The problem is that while not currently on active duty, you are required to be available if called upon. And in fact there are legal sanctions of you fail to register.

    "Registration is the law. A man who fails to register may, if prosecuted and convicted, face a fine of up to $250,000 and/or a prison term of up to five years.
    Even if not tried, a man who fails to register with Selective Service before turning age 26 may find that some doors are permanently closed."

    I actually have never registered for the draft because I enlisted before I hit 18. If the government has you on the list as being subject to call up, then you are certainly a member of the militia.

    1. Maybe, but that has little to do with the militia of the 1790s.

  4. One is not a member until sworn in. A list of available is not the same as being a sworn member.
