Here's a question: suppose your militia group had 'roles' but no 'ranks'. That is, there were riflemen, team leaders, squad leaders, platoon leaders, etc. but no rank.

Welcome to the forum and good luck in finding fellow patriots near you. -
When I first heard about it I thought it was a good idea and then did some checking into it. Here are some of the issues I found with it: 1) The last time a Convention of States was called was in 1787 to fix deficiencies with the Articles of Confederation. They threw them out and just plain redid the whole thing. The result was luckily the current US Constitution. Once a Convention of States convenes they can do the exact same thing. 2) Changes at the CoS are done with simple majority vote. So if 50.1% of the attendees agree on something it is automatically approved and passed. And we can only change it if we go thru the Amendment process. That's IF the newly changed document allows for Amendments. That can be changed also with a simple majority vote at the Convention. 3) The people do not select the delegates, they are selected by State governments. And from the reports I read and watched at the time I checked into this the delegates had already been selected in EVERY state. And reportedly not a single Constitutionalist, Libertarian, or Conservative was chosen. The delegates are all die hard leftists and outright communists. 4) The delegates can ignore the input, advice, complaints, and concerns of the citizens and government of the state they supposedly represent. That was from members of the US Supreme Court when they were asked about the CoS. So you can call, email, write letters, send up smoke signals.... doesn't matter the delegates are not beholden to you the voter who never even picked them in the first place. 5) This movement goes back to at least during the Bush Administration when the political left were mobilizing to stop who they said was a gun spinning cowboy version of Hitler. They wanted to strip W of his authority and power as President. It went no where. When Obama came in the same people that tried restricting authority of a Rebloodican President wanted to have the CoS to vastly expand the powers of a Demoncrat President. Since they couldn't mobilize enough leftists out of their mom's basements they changed the sales pitch to trick their enemies into getting the CoS going while they pulled strings behind the scenes to get the goals they wanted. That goal is the complete elimination of the protections of our God given Rights under the current Constitution. When the real leaders of the movement have been tracked down and questioned about the goals with the CoS they laugh and bluntly say they want to scrap the Constitution completely. And as already said earlier they can do it at the Convention of States with no repercussions and we are bound by their decisions without our input when they made it. I did searches to try and find some of the articles and news reports on this from when I looked into it a few years ago. They are gone. Memory holed. And in their place Google gives you articles and pages about how we need to have this immediately to restore our country in the way they tell us it was meant to be. And we can all trust that Google is truly concerned with our Rights and freedoms...right? I agree we desperately need a restoration of the Constitution to what the Founding Fathers intended. But I have no faith that a Convention of States will give us that result. Especially since we (Patriots, Constitutionalists, Libertarians, Conservatives, Moderates) will have absolutely no say in what will be considered, discussed, and voted on at the CoS. The things we are being shown right now is propaganda. A Potemkin Village to trick us into helping the enemies of the Constitution reach their goals. Counting on us to obey the new laws and restriction forced on us afterwards just like we obey what they force on us now through the legislatures and courts. I will not support a Convention of States till after the War to restore this nation. When people will be much wiser and truly understand how precious our Rights and Freedoms are. And understand the price that was paid to regain them.

Hey guys. Just wanted to let you all know I have parts II, III and IV up if you want to look at them. The more activity on these messages the more people will see them and take them seriously. We must band together or we will die alone. -

I believe you serve your time and pay back your debt. You should be restored to full citizenship. -
Ex felon and firearm ownership.
Rascaldees replied to Howard McInerney's topic in Historical - Documents & Law
It depends on your state but felony crimes do not automatically mean you can't own a firearm. North Carolina will allow felons to purchase muzzle loaded firearms for example and I believe crossbows are still legal for convicted felons. However it also varies greatly by state as some states specifically state that only violent offenders are excluded from firearm ownership.
