In reply to the discussion: Our new civilian militia [View all]NYC_SKP
(68,644 posts)8. I recommend everyone take a very close look at their maps and the groups.
I expected to see skin head, KKK, or neo-nazi groups, mostly I did not find these.
I did not know that Nation of Islam was a hate group and militia, that was the only group listed in my town.
In fact, a large number of groups listed are of an Islamic nature, it seems.
It comes of as xenophobic.

Congress has all the authority it needs for the militia in Article I, Section 8, clauses 15 & 16.
