Most survivalists are still quivering cowardly sheep.
Unfortunately many former militiamen have now turned survivalist. They think they can hide and now many are afraid to say the word militia. Once your name is on FEMA's Red List it will never come off.
In 1775 at Lexington and Concord it was the militia who fired upon the government troops who were trying to confiscate firearms. If we are afraid to organize into militia units the tyrants will take our firearms and enslave us the next time they try.
