Missouri considering bill that would create armed ‘Minutemen’ volunteer force
April 5, 2021 | BPR Wire
Lawmakers in Missouri are considering legislation that would make it legal to create a Missouri Minutemen, a group of legal gun owners who could be called to action by the governor.
On Tuesday, state senators discussed S.B. 258, which would establish “that there shall be the minutemen of the state which shall be called into service by the governor for use in defense during a state of emergency with consent of two-thirds of the General Assembly.â€
According to the legislation, any legal Missouri resident who is legally able to own a firearm will be allowed to voluntarily join the minutemen through the Department of Public Safety.
State Senator Bill White, author of the bill, said the minutemen are not a militia. They would be used in a “Civilization Threatening Event†as additional support for law enforcement and other government entities.
Volunteers would be required to “secure themselves with firearms, firearm accessories, ammunition, uniforms, equipment, and supplies necessary to perform any duties as assigned by the governor.â€

Stop "considering", and DO IT.
In fact, ALL of the red states (and perhaps the purple states) should do the same.
Eventually, they're all going to be brought under a common command.
Who will lead them...?
