    If they were interested in you following all these 'legal' 
gun laws then what they would do is to get one of them to get a 
Fedrule Firearms License themselves and then to sell at wholesale 
prices 'legal' firearms and military surplus ammunition to the 
militia members.  I'd get something useful, like a used French Army 
semi-automatic MAS 1949/56 chambered out to .308 caliber that 
currently sells wholesale for $200 or less with maybe some .308 
Enfield bolt-actions for another $75 each.  Then each of their 
members could get two 'legal' military-grade .308 rifles for around 
$300 which nobody would much care or be able to make 'illegal' as 
well as standardization of equipment and ammunition.  The ammunition 
could be purchased in case-load quantities and sold at price as well.  
Of course this would entail responsibility for keeping everyone 
'legal' and answering to the criminal regime if, say someone ran wild 
with their militia rifle.

   Of course, no such policy is going to be held by any militia 
group because such a course would require a moral responsibility 
which no militia general is going to undertake.  Least no militia 
general that I've ever heard of.  Instead they'll natter about how 
there ain't gonna be no more Wacos and then yammer about how the 
next victims are outside their protection because they did "something 
illegal" given the next siege.  
   It's really rather funny when you think about it.  
   
-------------

    The Missouri 51st Militia has stated several times that "The FBI 
are just doing their job."  Recently, the leadership of the 51st 
went with Blow Grits to hunt down Eric Rudolph.  As a result, the 
51st is pretty much the only open militia group left in Missouri 
as the other militia units went underground back in 1997.  The 
only militia groups left are those militia groups, like the 7th 
Missouri Militia, which pumps out propaganda and acts as a spokesman 
and a political front justifying Resistance activity regardless of 
whether it is 'legal' or not.  

   In Sept. 1997 I found out that the Missouri Highway Patrol had 
sent in two spies to snoop on the militia movement in Missouri after 
the April 19th government bombing in OKC.  A number of people got 
hurt by these sneaks.  The Missouri 20, and much of a SW 
Missouri militia was seriously compromised because of weapons 
violations.  They had something to do with Brad Glover's militia 
getting caught in Ft. Hood in July 1997. These spies were only found 
out because the other militias decided to go underground and there 
was no room for each of these Highway Patrol spies to continue spying 
on only 2-4 other people.  They might not have been caught unless 
they had confessed to a militia umbrella group that they were Missouri 
Highway Patrolmen. 

   A militia organization like the Missouri 51st doubtless has quite 
a few infilltraitors skulking around.  Its leadership is rather lax 
regarding security matters because they wish to think that running 
a paramilitary organization which has no overt allegiance to the 
criminal regime is 'legal.'  Thus since they aren't doing anything 
'illegal' it really doesn't matter how many people working for the 
criminal regime they have spying on them.  Now I'd say that a 
Revolutionary organization out to overthrow the ruling criminal 
regime shouldn't worry overmuch about what is "legal" but should 
indeed worry about internal security.  Let's just say that the 
Missouri 51st Militia and myself do not agree on what a militia 
should do or how it should operate, although I have worked on 
political and legal matters with the Missouri 51st leadership several 
years ago when the differences of opinion were not as great.

   The criminal regime says what is legal and illegal, and then it 
does whatever it wants to do.

   I view the political situation as equivalent to that before the 
American, French, and Russian Revolutions.  A corrupt and weakened 
criminal regime violates the rights of the people, and the people 
in reaction revolt and then execute the criminal regimeists and their 
families if they don't run fast enough to another country.

    I would advise you to form your own Resistance Active Service Unit 
cell of your family and close friends.  I would also advise that you 
sit tight and keep your mouths shut.  If someone from the criminal 
regime wrongs you, then they are fair game and you can do whatever 
you want to with them.  However, unless you are really determined, I'd 
advise you to not buy automatic weaponry which will get the FiBbIes 
and BATF on your ass, but rather a M1 Garand or a good military 30 
caliber rifle in 30/06 or .308 and a .22 rifle and a 12-gauge Remington 
870 Express pump shotgun and plenty of ammunition for those guns.  You 
don't need ammo-wasting poodle-shooters if you cannot afford resupply 
for such guns.

   Real Resistance fighters form their own Resistance Active Service 
Unit (ASU) cells from people they know and trust.  Like the IRA ASUs, 
this cell should never go over five people, with one of the members 
being the leader by consensus, and the leader or maybe the assistant 
leader having the contact with another ASU cell.  This form of 
Resistance organization is known as "Leaderless Resistance" after the 
paper prepared by Louis Beam.  It is practically uncrackable by the 
criminal regimeist security forces and even with a security leak the 
damage is localized to the Resistance ASU cell which is disrupted.

   I think they could easily steam open any letters I would send 
to you.  I am known as a Resistance hard case and snail mail is 
far more easily tampered with than secured e-mail.  In any case, 
if they monitor my e-mail account (and they doubtless do) then your 
name is already on  their list.

   Why don't you open up an anonymous dummy e-mail account or twenty 
on Hotmail or Rocketmail or Juno?  With maybe two or three regular 
dummy e-mail accounts with a dummy account being used but once.
I wouldn't be conversing electronically with a known hard-case like 
myself using a University of Missouri e-mail account if I were you.  
If I had access to a college computer I'd handle sensitive electronic 
correspondence via dummy e-mail account.

   And if you have access to the Internet, perhaps you should look 
at my WWW page using a college computer and a floppy disk and print 
out or view your hardcopy at home.

   See http://www.mo-net.com/~mlindste  for my main WWW page
       http://www.mo-net.com/~mlindste/mmmindex for my Modern 
Militiaman electronic e-'zine for suggestions on how to set up 
communications for a Resistance cell.

    If you have sold over a thousand rifles and guns to militiamen, 
then it is no wonder that the FiBbIes, BATF, and the local criminal 
regimeist enforcement apparatus has had a cow.

   The point I was trying to make to a gentleman from Missouri who 
complained about the policy of the 51st Missouri Militia was to make 
the point that curtailing 'illegal' weaponry meant taking 
responsibility for getting 'legal' but adequate weaponry to their 
militiamen at the lowest possible price.  The fact that a militia 
leader from Michigan saw fit to implement this wise policy is a 
good thing for militiamen from Michigan, while it raises the question 
as to why other state militia organizations were not as cogent or duly
deliberate.

    I will allow that there are some militia commanders who have 
taken care of the state of their command's weaponry, and that in 
this regard you have done an exemplerary job.  While we have had 
political differences concerning the ends of the militia movement 
as a whole, an inattention to the internal necessities of your 
command has not been one of my complaints (or even my business) 
against yourself, Norm.  I would say that your communication has 
in effect strengthened my observation concerning some open militia 
generals' basic inability to take care of their commands.  
   
   I have seen all sorts of attention being taken to the fripperies 
of uniform and rank structure, and little, if any attention taken to 
open militia weaponry.  I think the state of a militiaman's rifle is 
a far better statement of his competence as a combatant than a look at 
the amount of PX junk on his uniform.
