Citizen militias have been around since our country's inception, and in and of themselves are not a bad thing---But coupled with the doomsday indoctrination and political puppeteering, not to mention xenophobia, and yes, blatant racism of the so-called "alt-right", it's often a recipe for trouble.

Yes, by all means, practice your marksmanship, remain physically fit, test your endurance, and perhaps give an increasingly militarized police a moment of pause on that day when our surveillance state becomes, in fact, a Police State.  Just remember there are more rights than the 2nd Amendment---Be thoughtful and vigilant of the rest of them as well---And if you show up at the polls in those "certain areas", please leave your guns at home.
