A fast-growing U.S. movement armed with guns and the Constitution sees a dire threat to liberty



REDMOND, Ore. — B.J. Soper took aim with his AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and fired a dozen shots at a human silhouette target. Soper’s wife and their 16-year-old daughter practiced drawing pistols. Then Soper helped his 4-year-old daughter, in pink sneakers and a ponytail, work on her marksmanship with a .22-caliber rifle.

Deep in the heart of a vast U.S. military training ground, surrounded by spent shotgun shells and juniper trees blasted to shreds, the Central Oregon Constitutional Guard was conducting its weekly firearms training.

“The intent is to be able to work together and defend ourselves if we need to,” said Soper, 40, a building contractor who is an emerging leader in a growing national movement rooted in distrust of the federal government, one that increasingly finds itself in armed conflicts with authorities.

Those in the movement call themselves patriots, demanding that the federal government adhere to the Constitution and stop what they see as systematic abuse of land rights, gun rights, freedom of speech and other liberties.

Protip:  If you are gearing up for a hot war with the federal government, do yourself and your family a favor and politely decline being interviewed by the Washington Post about it.

Sorry, I missed your posting, I didn't look in that category.

Sorry, I missed your posting, I didn't look in that category.

Don't apologize, I didn't even put the heading in because I was unsure about the story; and it kind of pertains to Militias. 

I'm glad you posted it here.

I do not believe this group is too worried about one interview with the WP.  They are pretty much out there with videos, FB, connections with Bundy Ranch and local LEO.  We need 100,000s of thousands of more groups like them across this great land.

More power to them and others like them.  The video comparing his interpretation of the FERAL Governments right to own land and the all knowing liberal law professor was telling.  While he was to the point and correct, the lib used the FERAL Government talking point to circumvent the people's rights and give all power to the FERAL Government.
