One glaring thing in all this news and daily developments with undocumented children and adults crossing into the United States in pro-gun, pro-militia, anti-government states like Texas is the screaming absence of the militias themselves.
All we’ve been hearing ad nausea all these years from the gun-nut lobby is how “the right to bear arms” is needed so that the citizens can organize militias should their government break down or be corrupted to the point that they need to fall back on organized self defense as a last resort.
Well, where are you, boys? Don’t see you marching and drilling in your local baseball fields. Don’t see you patrolling the borders and doing recon. Where’s all your “well regulated militias”, toughguys?
All these gun lovers and big talkers can do is play with their little toys and call in to nutjob right wing radio shows. Oh, they’re also pretty good at driving around in black pick ups and putting on weight. They've got the eagle belt buckle market cornered too. As for doing what they so profess to exist to do – forget it.
Hell, NASCAR is on.
These last few weeks prove we have nothing to fear from these loud-mouthed ammosexuals. If it requires them getting off their couch or out of their truck, it’s not happening. And as for any long term threat: with all the smoking, drinking, and stuff-your-facing these guys do daily, these pro gun militia kooks will soon be off to the great bivouac compound in the sky, and their strange little play fantasy clubs will fade into history as the brief aberrations they are.
