There are several Diamondback militias in the southwestern states. One of the them is eerily similar to the Deadly Viper Death Squad, featured in the Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill. Florida has its share of militias, make no mistake about that. Florida actually has the largest number of concealed weapons permit holders of any state in the union, and likely of any area on the planet. The odd thing is that Florida does not have nearly the population that California or Texas do, meaning that there is a very large, disproportionate demographic of gun owners in the state of Florida, including the illegal citizens and illegal gun owners. Just think of the State of Florida as one giant military base. Remember to always be polite, smile and waive when coming to visit the Gunshine State. We love our tourists almost as much as we love our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
To answer you question, it appears the militia formed out of necessity, an act of desperation, perhaps perpetrated by local citizens in a time of need. I couldn't imagine people would be desperate enough to act prior to conflict. The appearance of an enemy is exactly what is needed to unite people out of their sofa laden stupors. Who would a militia take up arms against if there was no common threat or conflict?
Something I have yet to divulge to the forum regarding the ammunition situation. 12 guage shotgun shells are actually very easy to recycle by simply: #1 replacing the primers,#2 repacking with gunpowder,#3 adding wad,#4 adding a layer of pellets/fletchets/rocksalt/ or anything else you would like to accelerate to 1200 FPS, and #5 end cap wadding. Someone once made up a handful of non lethal rounds that fired out flimsy little circular wads of cardboard. You cannot imagine the things that flimsy little wads of cardboard can do at 1200 feet per second..........
