Jan Becket.  Connie Oliva. DEFINITIONS:  mi·li·tia [mi-lish-uh] NOUN  1. a body of citizens enrolled for military service, and called out periodically for drill but serving full time only in emergencies. 2. a body of citizen soldiers as distinguished from professional soldiers. 3. all able-bodied males considered by law eligible for military service. 4. a body of citizens organized in a paramilitary group and typically regarding themselves as defenders of individual rights against the presumed interference of the federal government.  Therefore, if citizen gun owners declare themselves a "body," they are a "militia."  No gun control advocate I have ever heard has told us how banning guns will keep them out of the hands of criminals and people intent on doing evil things.  When only the criminals and government have guns, We, the People, are finished.   Both parties agree that no laws would have prohibited what happened in Las Vegas.  It's easier cry "gun control" than "mental illness."
