Preparing for โtyrannyโ: Franklin County residents ask sheriff, supervisors to support forming a militia
FRANKLIN COUNTY, Va. โ Another county is now trying to take the next steps in the battle against gun control by taking matters into its own hands. "We hope to get a militia formed for Franklin County," said William Dyer, executive member of the Virginia Citizens Defense League. More than 100 people there used the militia muster call as a way to educate the community. Second Amendment supporters in Franklin County are not just looking for support from neighbors, but the Board of Supervisors and beyond. The militia muster call is happening on March 7 at noon at the Franklin County Recreation Department.
