JC Knott is one of the founders of the 1st Tennessee Rifles Umit. He started to hold constitutional meetings at the local church, and after a while people started approaching him, interested in forming a militia."The one thing that really pushed me into all this was when president Bush signed the presidential order 51. Through that he can impose martial law at anything that he sees fit, it could be rising fuel costs or something like hurricane Cathrina."The militia movement is marching again. With two crucial ingredients present Ð economic downturn and a Democratic president Ð Americans are once again stockpiling weapons. The militias are getting prepared, not for a war with the government, but to defend themselves against it. (KEYSTONE/KONTINENT/Johan Persson)
