All militias are composed of private citizens. That is the very definition of a militia whether government provides the arms or they use their own.

And if the people in control decide to shut you up. What then Sherlock?

A few words from a retiring General
Aristides replied to Army Guy's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Neither has a sterling record but it was the Liberals who were tone deaf enough force unification. -

Liberal incompetence when it comes to understanding the military is nothing new, one only has to think back to unification. -
Sort of. Charles I basically claimed the divine right of kings and Parliament disagreed. To make a long story shorter, they had a civil war, the king lost ended up losing his head. The country was governed as a commonwealth under Cromwell until he croaked and Parliament decided to restore the monarchy under Charles son, Charles II (The Merry Monarch) who was relatively harmless. When he croaked, he was succeeded by his brother James II who pissed off Parliament again and tried to return the country to Catholicism. They ran him off and brought over William and Mary from the House of Orange in the Netherlands. The supremacy of Parliament was never seriously challenged since.

So superior you can't participate in a conversation without calling names. When you get past the sand box and kindergarten, let us know because the present version is like talking to a toddler in a tantrum. -

The MYTH of White Privilege

For someone who claims to be well educated, one wonders what passes for education in Florida because it seems to turn out people who can't have a discussion without name calling and abuse. You really do come across as a mo- ron who has no other tools. -

Exactly, you started with a conclusion and call anyone who disagrees with you names. That is not a discussion is just being an ahole. But hey, that's all you ever do. -
Why is the Second Amendment a priority?
Aristides replied to Queenmandy85's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
It was the Continental Army and French troops and the defeat of a reinforcing fleet by the French navy. We have a similar myth in Canada that the American invasion of 1812 was defeated by Canadian militias when in reality most of the heavy lifting was done by British regulars and natives. -

The French supplied money and material almost from the beginning and French ground forces were operating with the Americans from 1779. The French also tied down British forces in the rest of the world. It was a French naval victory that prevented Cornwallis from being reinforced at Yorktown and forced his surrender. -

When was that? The revolutionary war was won by an army with a lot of help from the French. -
