The misc.activism.militia newsgroup will be open to discussion on
all aspects of organized and disorganized civilian firearms ownership

and ammunition and any other issues relevant to militias. Also
included are any community-oriented volunteer policing activities.

This newsgroup is not for discussion of the politics of
gun ownership and use in general; any such posts should be

misc.activism.militia. Private email or a mailing list
should be used for this purpose.

Messages carrying out transactions or other material that may
be in violation of any law should never be sent on USENET,
as this brings risk of prosecution and harassment to all the
organizations responsible for its distribution. This includes, but
is not limited to, illegal firearms or ammunition transactions,
threats of death or bodily harm, murder contracts, plots to
overthrow legitimate governments, and restricted distribution
information or data which you do not have permission to
distribute. If it is your intent to do any of the above,
misc.activism.militia is an inappropriate forum.
