from SLATE: In >Oklahoma, ... state lawmakers are considering forming a statewide militia to "help defend against what they believe are improper federal infringements on state sovereignty." Despite the state's troubled history with right-wing militancy [think of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing], some state legislators believe taking up arms is the only way the Sooner State can defend itself against the encroachment of the feds. "It's not a far-right crazy plan or anything like that," said a Tulsa-based tea partier. "This would be done with the full cooperation of the state Legislature."<
doesn't Oklahoma already have a state militia, i.e., the Oklahoma National Guard? -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
