Equipment is equipment and doesn’t just mean some friggin a grad camos or rifle scope FOD hunting deer. Plus they had a barracks.
You imbeciles said they went on a barracks! For gods sake, a few rednecks collecting arms or calling themselves a militia are not going to have a barracks right under the USGs nose.
No big deal in having a little barrack with some bank-beds and a rifle rack!
In the US, militias are big business where they supposedly train paying pot-bellied fools in what they call "survivalist" camps with a Rambo twist, or so they think!
It is a big deal.
A Barracks is full on site to house personnel and their equipment, armoury and all sorts depending on the facility.
A few pot bellied imbeciles who have a building on Uncle Joes farm is hardly a barracks.
DT said he had a tour of a barracks. Now, you are saying he had a tour of someone’s farm sheds where they store a few rifles, helmets and hunting scopes and call themselves a militia.
What kind of a militia is that? Secondly, DT said they had equipment similar or equal to the CNG. Well in our neck of the woods, when you say equipment equal to the CNG, then we must assume all equipment not just helmets. I can get military helmets here in Australia as well.
Plus you can get some very high powered rifles and precision scopes worth thousands and good enough to snipe from 2000 m away with great accuracy in expert hands who know what they are doing.
A few pot bellied rednecks isn’t a militia. If they call themselves a militia, have organised themselves as a militia, have a makeshift “barracks” which DT got a four of (why would you hang with these types?) then it’s illegal in the USA. There have been private militia’s in the past and even a WACO siege in Texas of some religious cult but honestly, I want to know what DT was doing going to a so called extremist camp with some shacked out clowns toting guns. Who would do that? Would you go? I wouldn’t go. A tour of a US NG facility, then no problems.
I have guns myself but gun ownership is a friggin responsibility and guns are dangerous. I store them carefully, in a safe, and store ammunition separately too. I don’t even want my kids to have access to them.
I may go hunting once or twice a year with a couple of mates - we actually do it for the 4WD wheeling more than anything and getting out. We are more worried about getting blood and guts in the trays of our utes. We have these utes that we don’t like to get too dirty.
It’s a bit off key hanging with some irresponsible clowns who go on a power trip because of their guns and organise themselves in a militia because they want to start some shit.
When someone tells you they went on a tour of a barracks, with a military or paramilitary in this case with barracks as good as the CNG and with equipment as good as the CNG, then there are only a few services in the US that have that. The US Army, US Marines, US Navy, USAF, USNG, US Coastguard, and the various State NGs like the Texas National Fuard which is also seriously equipped.
