Sweetpumper Posted May 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2013 At a time when militias may be needed more than ever, Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona has signed a bill creating a state militia that she could deploy at any time, and for any reason. The bill, SB1495, creates a volunteer state militia, separate and apart from the National Guard Arizona Capitol Times reports. http://www.libertyfederation.com/blog/az-governor-signs-bill-authorizing-state-militia-be-formed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRYSiiSx2 Posted May 9, 2013 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Scandalous How? People are volunteering, it isn't a bunch of cops or state officials. It's volunteers. Every state should have this. Edited May 9, 2013 by CRYSiiSx2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted May 9, 2013 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) sounds like she wants to create her private army. but hey if it is what it takes to properly guard border, than why not, however i don't think it is real reason, she needs someone to stand up against feds, when they come to enforce federal laws. A new Arizona bill is trying to make it a crime to enforce federal gun laws. Edited May 9, 2013 by aztek 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRYSiiSx2 Posted May 9, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 9, 2013 lol, my bad, she. At least it's all volunteers, not a bunch of state elected people. If that was the case it would raise a red flag for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the case it would raise a red flag for me. it does raise flags. it doesn't matter if "cannon meat" are volunteeres, their COs are state elected officials. or even appointed, not elected. why would she need another paramiliary force, when she has, national guard, state police, at her disposal. if one doesn't listen to her reasons, media, and just looks at the situation, it is prety clear, she goes against feds, and needs a force that reports to her only, in case feds come knocking on her door for ordering not to obey federal laws. first they wanted to legalise gold\silver currency, than backed off, than bill not to enforce federal laws.. and pbly other things we don't know about, she is geting ready to oppose feds. imo i don't believe for a second she will be useing them to guard border, national border is federal jurisdiction, unless she wants to fight feds, kick out dhs, and take over border, but i don't see it happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarakore Posted May 9, 2013 #16 Share Posted May 9, 2013 AZ is becoming the political backwater of America. Sadly because a few there are rather sophisticated and do not agree with the desert hillbillies who want to turn that state into a laughing stock.

Thanato Posted May 9, 2013 #23 Share Posted May 9, 2013 So AZ will be the newest state with a State Militia, Guard, Defence Force, seperate from the National Gaurd and Military Reserves. Since there are already a number of US States which have them I dont see this as a problem. Unless they start you know waging war on a neighboring state. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the progressive state of California has one. People really should be better informed before they make assumptions.

According to Wiki there are 22+PR that have State Defence Forces and nearly every US state has the laws on the books authorizing the creation of one. I think it's a good thing, something that doesn't require the US Federal Governments approval to deploy incase of emergency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
