It is illegal to be a member of an organization that is challenging the constitution by armed force.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I thought what the military was doing was unconstitutional.
I feel that the Second Amendment is the right to keep and bear arms for our citizenry. This not for someone who's in the military. This is not for law enforcement. This is for us. And, in fact, when you read that Constitution and the Founding Fathers, they intended this to stop tyranny.
Legislation that names a specific private organization to defund (rather than all organizations that engage in a particular activity) is improper and arguably unconstitutional.
I'm tired of hearing about this 'well-regulated militia' that is so necessary for American freedom.
The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.
People have a fundamental right to organize. It's rooted very much in the Constitution and people's right to free association.
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.
I don't think the only place to fight for freedom is in the halls of Congress.
For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.
The military is faithful to the constitution. They will come in only to protect the people from the enemies of the state.
