Democrats Propose Bill to Neuter Militias

Militias who like to spend their weekends training to overthrow the government could find themselves running afoul of federal law, under new legislation being proposed in the House and Senate Thursday that seeks to curtail paramilitary activity.

The “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act” is being introduced by Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts, and Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, both Democrats. 

The legislation would prohibit publicly patrolling, drilling or engaging in harmful or deadly paramilitary activities, interfering with or interrupting government proceedings, interfering with someone else exercising their constitutional rights, falsely assuming the role of law enforcement, and “training to engage in such behavior.”

Meh. This doesn't affect me at all. If I wanted to hang out with undercover FBI agents and informants, I'd have joined the FBI.

I do wonder though if this law passes, will it only affect Right Wing militias or will it also include the Leftist darlings Antifa as well?
