As a follow up to this conversation, I just saw this today. They have apparently essentially legalized the armed citizen militias into a rural defense corps...

I found this interesting though:

Police and soldiers already largely tolerate, and in some cases even work with, the vigilantes, many of whom are armed with assault rifles that civilians are not allowed to carry.

Vigilante leaders will have to submit a list of their members to the Defense Department, and the army will apparently oversee the groups, which the government said "will be temporary." They will be allowed to keep their weapons as long as they register them with the army.

Unregistered rifles that now have to be registered and the groups are only temporary. So, after all is said and done, the government that doesn't allow the civilians to have these rifles now will know exactly who has them??? Seems awkward to me for the citizens involved.

Good for the citizens. I hope word of their exploits continues to spread as well as their actions and emboldens others who have had enough of what is close to anarchy in some places...
