The Coming Demise of American Militias

Do American Militias need to grow and change with the times to be effective against the oppressive power of the government? In other words, do you think that it's necessary to modernize the American militias in every way such as the use of the latest information technologies, future weapons, modern warfare strategies, etc.? Also, the new American Militia movement needs to win the PR battle in order to get new recruits. That will require a new political strategy that should center on the real issues such as lower taxes, reduction in the size of the federal government and holding those accountable that abuse of power by the government:

Moreover, I wanted to share these thought by Jason regarding the above link that I think are quite enlightening:

Jason says,

"Here is my personal take on the future of militias.. I believe groups will begin forming and operating much like the IRA did, and may still do. (I might anger some Brits here) The IRA is considered the most adapted and deadly terror/political militia in history.. Hezbollah, Al Quada, Hammas.. they have all said they style their attacks on the tactics used by the IRA. The tactic they wished to copy, and so far in my opinion failed at .. is the ability to act as a normal person, then when given the call, pick up arms, bombs, shoot do what ever your job is to do and then disappear into society once again. This kind of pick up and go militia, working as a network instead of a formal militia will be very hard to track down (as the IRA was and is)... this can assure that trans - national militias formed by say Mexicans or something will have armed resistance from this pick up networks if they intrude on their "protected area". As far as the government goes, if they wish to crack down on militias like this surveillance laws will have to be passed that would rival the UK or even China.. causing imo a new rise in militias themselves. If it got bad enough that a militia forms into a separatist movement, the government will be nearly helpless... no government in the world that suffers the cancer of a separatist movement can rid their problem... just look at Russia in the south, China in the west, Spain in the east, Turkey and the Kurds in the south western areas.. those areas of these countries are hard to patrol and keep a sphere of influence.. and these are once super power industrialized and up and coming industrialized nations. guerrilla (literally means small war) wars are hard to fight with a standard army. A pick up militia network would be hell for our government, allowing the forming and operation of standard militias in my opinion is safer for the government in the long run. "

Now that's a good analysis of the world that we live in today and the role militias play in it. Furthermore, here's a good link to start a militia in your area:
