The senator that suggested that these were ordinary normal people when referring to these nutjobs is delusional.
This idea is not new, they are following in the footsteps of other delusional extremists of our times like the Ayatollah and his revolutionary guard or "Basij" in Iran. The main purpose of these militias is to put down dissent, with force if necessary.

The whole notion is as undemocratic and un-American as you can get.
Small people, with no new ideas, but they got to have their guns to promote them.
