Huh? Group charged with "paramilitary training"

I know, Nazis, who cares...but, WTF, anyone ever heard of such law?

Many States have these types of laws.

This is why when you "train" you take paintball guns with you. :)

It doesn't matter if it's a toy gun or not.


I have never even heard of such a charge...I mean, theoretically, target shooting could be considered paramilitary training, couldn't it?

I guess...

Things are definitely getting weird.

So when is the FBI going to raid Camp Meir?

I guess that would make the rural Ozarks a 'paramilitary base'...

The Catskills in New York too.

Camp Meir? ... Wow, how cool is that? ... is the place still around? ... probably won't ever be raided since it's jewish...not even the American government wants to tread on "God's chosen people"
