:08:01
the vitals on a...
on a human being,
:08:04
if you ever had to shoot at one.

- The Michigan Militia
became known around the world
:08:12
when, on April 19th, 1995,
two guys living in Michigan
:08:16
who had attended
Militia meetings,
:08:17
Timothy McVeigh
and Terry Nichols,
:08:19
blew up the federal building
:08:21
in Oklahoma City,
:08:24
killing 168 people.
:08:26
The Michigan Militia
wanted everyone to know
:08:29
that they were nothing
like McVeigh and Nichols.
:08:32
- This is an American tradition.
:08:34
It's an American responsibility
to be armed.
:08:36
If you're not armed,
you're not responsible.
:08:39
Who's gonna defend your kids,
the cops?
:08:41
The federal government?
No, none of them.
:08:45
It's your job
to defend you and yours.
:08:47
If you don't do it,
you're in dereliction of duty,
:08:50
as an American. Period.
:08:52
- We're here to let them
know we're here to help.
:08:55
We're not the bogeymen
we're made out to be.
:08:57
We're here to help and defend
the people of this country.
:08:59
- I'm sure you guys
are the kind of people
:09:01
that people would like
to have as their neighbour.
:09:03
If somebody's in need,
you're there to help them.
:09:06
- Pretty much. We're all normal
people. We all have regular jobs
:09:08
and this is what we do
on our time.
:09:10
- What kind of a job do you have?
- I'm a draftsman.
:09:13
- How about you?
- Unemployed right now.
:09:15
- Frank, what do you do
for a living?
:09:17
- I work for
a heat trading company.
:09:19
I drive a truck for 'em.
- Okay. How about you?
:09:21
- I'm a real-estate negotiator
- Real-estate negotiator!
:09:26
- White collar all the way.
:09:28
- You don't bring that with you,
though, do you,
:09:30
when you're negotiating
the real estate?
:09:32
- No.
:09:33
- Where do you live,
in suburban--
:09:35
- Westland.
- So what do you have
:09:36
in your home?
- Smith & Wesson 9-millimetre.
:09:39
- Nine-millimetre?
- Yeah.
:09:40
- And how about you?
- With hollow points.
:09:42
- Twelve gage.
:09:43
- Twelve gage at home?
- Yeah.
:09:45
- How about you?
- M-16.
:09:46
- At home?
- Yeah.
:09:48
At the ready.
- I don't agree with that,
:09:49
'cause you gotta worry about
where your arms are going.
:09:52
- I know where they're gonna go
when I aim and shoot.
:09:56
- Whose idea was the calendar?
:09:58
- That'd probably be Christian.
