Well, not entirely "no". If the government would actually attempt to regulate (i.e. equip, train and deploy) the militia, we'd be a lot better off. The common citizen should strive to be fairly well practiced in the use of his firearms, but too few actually do it. Of course, being trained in the use of your firearms by a government source would be too much like the same government saying it's OK for you to even be armed in the first place ... which is why the government assiduously avoids such things. Any equipping and training is reserved for the para-militarism of the government, in which classes of people are REMOVED from the general population and are indoctrinated into supporting the government, NOT the law of the USA and NOT the people of same. Of course, I'm talking about police, military and all the security services (CIA NSA FBI etc.). The government equips and trains these folks but does NOT allow them to identify with the common populace. Also, equipping is specious in those cases too, since you largely can't
keep the equipment as an actual citizen militiaman should. Note well that as each war is over, the government gets more and more militant about confiscating the issued weapons from the citizens who fought in it.

You're a complete fuckass. Advocating for the rights of the accused and jailed is NOT subscribing to the same offenses that caused such accusations and jailing in the first place. You may as well say we should try lawyers for defending clients.
You fuckface! Eat a dick and die by fire!
