The “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act,” has been introduced by communist/globalist Sen. Edward Markey and co-sponsored by Maryland communist/globalist Rep. Jamie Raskin.
This from msn.com.
This bill aims to outlaw state militias, citing the misrepresented events of January 6, 2021, as a reason for its proposal.
The legislation is criticized as unnecessary, as all 50 states already have laws restricting private paramilitary activity.
Sen. Markey deceitfully wrote in a statement:
Three years ago, white supremacists affiliated with paramilitary organizations stormed the U.S. Capitol, shattering windows, walls, and the families of five U.S. Capitol police officers.
Markey continued:
Private paramilitary actors, such as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, pose a serious threat to democracy and the rule of law, and we must create new prohibitions on their unauthorized activities that interfere with the exercise of people’s constitutional rights.
The forces of bigotry, hatred, and violent extremism must be stopped for the sake of our democracy.
Raskin wrote:
Our legislation makes the obvious but essential clarification that these domestic extremists’ paramilitary operations are in no way protected by our Constitution.
Raskin continued:
I’m grateful to Senator Markey for his partnership on this critical effort to protect the rule of law, deter insurrection, and defend our democracy.
There that “our democracy” is again tossed about. We the People know the Left means “our agenda” and “democrat control of power” when they say “our democracy.”
Deana El-Mallawany, from Protect Democracy, added:
As the events of January 6, 2021, laid bare, the rise of private paramilitary groups poses a real threat to democracy and the rule of law.
In recent years, we have seen such groups interfere with the exercise of constitutionally protected rights, attempt to carry out unsanctioned law enforcement activities, and target vulnerable populations.
Critics have highlighted that the bill’s provisions duplicate existing laws.
Critics have additionally claimed that the bill is an attack on the Second Amendment and argues that it is part of a broader effort to erode the right to bear arms.
Final thought: Another gun grab initiative by the Left.
