	COUNTERTERRORISM HEARING before the COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS UNITED STATES SENATE
		Among the right-wing extremist groups operating in the United States are: the Army of Israel, the Aryan Nations, the Texas Aryan Brotherhood, the California Militia, the Viper Militia, the Mountaineer Militia, the Republic of Texas, our one supreme court, the Texas Constitutional Militia, the Utah Free Militia, the North Idaho Militia Group, and the Freemen.
		The Departments of State and Justice and the FBI work closely together on law enforcement aspects of counterterrorism abroad, and with foreign governments concerned--for example, when the FBI investigates terrorist crimes against U.S. interests abroad and in cases involving the apprehension and extradition of terrorists overseas to bring them to trial in the United States.
		The United States is also committed to strengthening the ability of the international community to prevent acts of terrorism before they occur and to respond more effectively to acts of terrorism when they do occur.

	Handbook of Texas Online: TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD
		The United States Militia Law of 1808 based the quantity of arms for the militia on the number of representatives each state had in Congress.
		As in the antebellum period, the state required the militia to hold an annual muster and enrollment at county courthouses, essentially a yearly census of all men between the ages of eighteen and fifty.
		The governor acted as the commander-in-chief of the state militia; his authority was exercised through an adjutant general, usually a political appointee.

		The United States Navy Reserve is the reserve component of the United States Navy.
		The concept of a volunteer Militia unit was confirmed in the Uniform Militia Act of 1792, to be formed of volunteers from the Militia at large and to be uniformed and equipped at the individual volunteer's expense.
		In fact, today's Navy Reserve is an off-shoot of the National Guard.

	ABC News: Lebanese Speaker Calls Election Law Faulty
		The United States, the European Union and the United Nations which all pressured Syria to withdraw its troops from Lebanon last month so unimpeded elections could be held have demanded voting be held on time.
		For the south Lebanon election, Berri, leader of the pro-Syrian Amal militia, teamed up with old Shiite Muslim rivals of the Hezbollah guerrilla group for joint tickets likely to sweep votes in the area and return many of Syria's allies to parliament.
		The election has divided the anti-Syrian opposition, which united Christians and Muslims in rejecting Syrian dominance following the Feb. 14 assassination of Hariri.

	United States National Guard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The organized militia exists to supplement the National Guard in the event of manpower shortages while the unorganized militia comprises every able bodied male in a state which may be called up for extreme emergencies such as an invasion of the United States or a major catastrophe inside her shores.
		The United States National Guard is a significant component of the United States armed forces military reserve.
		Because the National Guard remains under the authority of the states (unless called into federal service), it should not be confused with the reserves of the various services which serve primarily as training units for replacements to active component forces.

	Second Amendment
		United States, 445 U.S. 55, 65 n.8 (1980) dictum: Miller holds that the ``Second Amendment guarantees no right to keep and bear a firearm that does not have `...some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia'''.
		The Supreme Court has given effect to the dependent clause of the Amendment in the only case in which it has tested a congressional enactment against the constitutional prohibition, seeming to affirm individual protection but only in the context of the maintenance of a militia or other such public force.
		The opposing theories, perhaps oversimplified, are an ``individual rights'' thesis whereby individuals are protected in ownership, possession, and transportation, and a ``states' rights'' thesis whereby it is said the purpose of the clause is to protect the States in their authority to maintain formal, organized militia units.

		The National Guard of the United States and the Army Reserve could be ordered to active duty only in time of war or national emergency declared by Congress.

		Taking his cue from Hughes’ emphasis on the words “quick delivery”, Janney had already made one visit to the United States (around 12th September) and made his selection for the Canadian Aviation Corps’ first aircraft.
		By the 16th September Hughes had appointed Janney as a " provisional commander", commissioned him in the rank of Captain, and authorized him to look for an aircraft in the United States, since construction facilities were non-existent in Canada.
		Militia Headquarters quickly informed the 1st Contingent ‘to sever Lieutenant (sic) Janney’s connection with the CEF.’ On the 23 January 1915, Janney was struck off strength and sailed for Canada.

	The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution Guarantees an Individual Right To Keep and Bear Arms
		Pennsylvania proposed a provision stating that "the people have the right to bear arms for the defense of themselves, their state, or the United States, and for killing game, and no law shall be enacted for disarming the people except for crimes committed or in a case of real danger of public injury from individuals...
		State legislation which prohibited arms bearing by blacks was held to be constitutional owing to the lack of status of African Americans as citizens, despite the fact that the United States Constitution and most state constitutions referred to arms bearing as a right of "the people" rather than "the citizen."
		To these [the standing army troops] would be opposed a militia amounting to near half a million of citizens with arms in their hands, officered by men chosen from among themselves, fighting for their common liberties, and united and conducted by [state] governments possessing their affections and confidence.

	The United Irishmen and the 1798 rebellion in Ireland
		In April of 1797 four United Irishmen from the Monaghan militia executed in front of thousands of other soldiers who were then marched by the bodies.[96] These executions although they created martyrs like Willam Orr were effective at challenging and undermining the United Irishmen's organisation in the Militia in particular.
		The United Irishmen made use of other means of getting the word out, the Earl of Westmoreland observed in 1792 that "they set ballad singers in the streets".[56] Indeed they translated the 'Ca Ira' and 'The Marseillaise' for publication along with specially written Irish ballads.
		For their time however the United Irishmen were "in the vanguard of European radicalism".[44] In January of 1794 their 'Dublin Plan of Reform program' included 300 electoral divisions, a vote for all men over 21, representatives to be over 25 but not required to own property and all representatives to be paid and elected annually.

		United Scotsmen – organization that received significant working class support in the 1790s, combining nationalism and class issues.

		[6] At present, there are two classes of militia--the "organized militia," which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia, and the "unorganized militia," which consists of all members of the "militia of the United States" who are not members of the "organized militia." 10 U.S.C. §311(b).

		The unorganized militia has been called upon to fill this role in the past: governors have deployed their unorganized militias as recently as World War II to repel foreign invasion.
		The strongest opposition to the militia clauses was not until the state ratification conventions, particularly the Virginia Convention.
