  • Guess what isn’t really regulated in any way? Militias.

    this is not true. at least in my state, forming a militia and marching with rifles outside your workplace is quite illegal and will get you v&d

    20 ILCS 1805:

    It is unlawful for any body of men or women, other than the regularly organized militia of this State, troops of the United States, [and fuddy veterans orgs], to associate themselves together as a military company or organization, to drill or parade with arms in this State, except as hereinafter authorized; but, by and with the consent of the Governor, [private militias approved by the governor] and [military academies].

    If you want to use your gun rights for spectacular purposes Black Panthers style, you have to actually know the law like they did. Please read your specific state’s laws before you do anything in this area, there are probably lots of pitfalls.

    Georgetown law:

    All 50 states prohibit private, unauthorized militias and military units from engaging in activities reserved for the state militia, including law enforcement activities.




    1. different if you own the fridge, vs vandalizing a library that someone else installed and maintains. It would be dumb but you could run your own Christian Little Free Library without fucking up other people’s efforts

    2. Yesterday I saw my local Love Fridge has recently put up rules for what you can donate, forbidding raw meat. I once talked to a vegan homeless woman using the fridge who said she had a hard time getting food. The limiting factor for these things is often fridge space, and I think rules like that are helpful to make the fridges accessible to everyone. Sometimes you have to remove, e.g., the one hundred quarts of strawberries that someone has donated to make room for more widely useful food*. In the same way, if the fridge had a “no peanut/dairy/sesame/etc” poster I would expect such things to be removed as part of the regular cleaning of the fridge. (As a practical matter, my guess is the new Love Fridge rules were motivated by people putting raw meat in there and leaking on the other stuff.)

      *Because the fridges are often overflow from local food distribution charities. Problem always seems to be uneven distribution. If you want a pallet of this one week, a pallet of that the next week, you can get it for free and give it to the needy. But who wants to live off pre-sliced fruit one week and marinara sauce the next week? If you want a consistent amount of good food for people to eat a balanced diet off of, you have to buy it at the grocery store or have a huge intake network to spread out all the weird donations.
