Due to Mass Shootings, Democrats in Congress Propose to Disarm the Majority of Sheriff's Deputies Throughout the Nation

You heard it right folks, due to mass shootings Senator Feinstein and other Democrats in the Senate are proposing new gun regulations that would disarm the majority of sheriffs deputies throughout the United States.

 You might be thinking "they're crazy" or "that's crazy" or "this blogger is crazy" but I speak the truth.

 There are the regular sheriffs deputies you may be familiar with, but there are others called the "Posse Comitatus" or as the old western movies put it "the sheriff's posse".  Some might think those are the guys who ride horses in 4th of July parades but the sheriff's posse according to Common Law is defined as the power and force of the county, and constitutes all males ages 15 and up of the county.  The sheriff has the common law power to call up all qualifying males to perform his duties.  The Arkansas Supreme Court stated the following regarding this principle:
“The posse comitatus has an ancient history...Its origins are believed to lie in the pre-conquest English statute of "hue and cry," a method then recognized for issuing and enforcing process to bring one committing a crime before the courts”
(Williams vs State of Arkansas 1973)
Further they stated:
“From this practice, the right of the sheriff to call up the local male population to arrest criminals or prevent riots evolved, and became known as the posse comitatus, which in effect was a civil army to be used by the sheriff for these purposes, among others.” (Williams vs State of Arkansas 1973)
And finally they stated:
“Refusal to render the aid sought by the sheriff was an offense punishable by fine and imprisonment.” (Williams vs State of Arkansas 1973)

The Power of a Tithing

From the Bible: "So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes." ( Deuteronomy 1:15 ) The Captains of Tens that we read about in the Bible were called Tithingmen in Old English Common Law, he was in charge of ten households, every male 12 to 60 was a part of the Tithing, and they were responsible to act when their Tithingman made a Hue and Cry. The Tithingman was responsible to make sure that those within his Tithing were obedient to the law and trained in the use of arms. Another term in medieval England for a tithing group was “vill” (See Statute at Winchester).  While it may not be customary for Americans now to be split into households of ten in these days, the common law practice of training men beginning at the age of twelve years old in arms is implied in the Second Amendment as part

How the Citizens Militia is Distinct from the State Sponsored Militia

How the "Citizens Militia" is distinct from the state sponsored militia The Militia of the State is but a small portion of "the Militia" as it was understood by the founding fathers.  Unlike the Army and Navy, which were created by the Constitution, the Militia pre-existed the Constitution.  The Constitution simply gave Congress power to call up that portion of the Militia that would be needed in case of national emergency. The founders understood the Militia to be all able bodied male citizens capable of bearing arms, in a previous post The Power of a Tithing , I pointed out that those who were to be trained to aid in the common defense began at the age of 12 and up.  According to US Code, that portion that may be called up to aid the United States consist of all males (with few exceptions) ages 17-45, and most state codes share a uniformity with that code.  There are times however, when the Federal and State Government are either unable or unwilling to a
