That's pretty much what I was looking to hear, thanks for the reply and background info. I still don't see what makes one militia legal or illegal though, you're saying they must be blessed by the state/fed government?

KevinJ, I'm not advocating a return to the wild wild west, but was being devils advocate to the claim the minutemen were an "illegal militia". Seems to me that if the US Border Patrol isn't going to do their job (and all indications say they aren't), then citizens who volunteer to do it for them probably have good intentions and are doing a noble thing.

Except for the ones with swastikas, of course.
