When will right wing militia's in America be outlawed? How can successive governments let groups stockpile guns and explosives in their own country and not make it illegal to be a member of such an organisation?

• Keeping a gun in your own home to protect you and your family is something I don't have a problem with. It is these groups of armed people who set up a compound and store lots of guns and other weapons and spout right wing propaganda that I do not see any action being taken to break them up.

• They can't be broken up. They aren't breaking any laws. Clinton tried that sort of thing and he will always have the innocent murders or whole families hanging over his head. Remember the disaster at Waco?

  You can spout any kind of political views you wish, whether it is right wing or left wing, and can own as many weapons as you wish too. That is the way we do it in America.

• I feel you spooner .. truly, however this issue has so many sides that to rule in favor of one area (in which we might all agree) it will backlash in another area that would leave us vulnerable to those we wish to disarm.

• I can't get my head around your Second Amendment. People who stockpile arms and explosives in my country are branded terrorists and rightly so. They have a warped sense of nationalism that belongs in the distant past and has no place in a modern democratic society.

• That's fine that you think that way. The English colonists were viewed in the same light, until they kicked out the English and did it themselves.
  By the way, the militias are normally pretty quite until they feel that their rights are being taken to much. That's usually when a democrat is in the office.

• Why would they be branded terrorists and why would you agree with that branding. In our country, we call people like them patriots.

  I can stock pile fuel and matches, but I don't become an arsonist until I light the fire.

• What have they done that is patriotic? They are branded terrorists as they believe they have a mandate to use arms to overthrow a democratically elected government and install either a left wing socialist/marxist government or a right wing facist government.

• They are given that right by our constitution. When or if it comes to a time when our politicians force a socialist/Marxist government on us, (which is what has happened already in Europe, and is happening here) the people who formed our government gave us a way to protect our freedoms. You have it all back wards. Militias aren't for the purpose of over throwing a government they are for protecting the citizens from the government. Also if your country is invaded and no military help was available who is going to fight?

• @Spooner: Even Hitler was democratically elected, but who what have ever thought that he was going to do what he did. Hitler was a great speaker and an even better liar. Sounds like a guy that the US elected.

• Assault rifles, AK 47's, submachine guns, RPG's, surface to air missiles. That is way too much for civilians to have.

• Who has the right to decide that though? Criminals get this stuff anyway. Banning them only causes the civilians to be less protected. All gun laws do is empower the criminal.

  I am a Libertarian. I believe any kind of gun law is against our constitution and should not be there, but over the decades more and more restrictions, bans, regulations, and long waiting periods for purchase have been snuck in by politicians, people have slowly gotten accustomed to getting their rights taken away. People don't even notice anymore when they see a sign at a restaurant, hospital, or store saying, "no hand guns". The owner of that establishment is violating every citizens constitutional right to carry a gun, but we don't care anymore. In some states it is nearly impossible to buy a simple handgun because of bureaucratic red tape. That is not what our my countries founders had in mind for us when they gave us the right to bare arms and form militias.
