Raids on Christian Militia

I'm not sure but what "Christian Militia" is an oxymoron....They somehow don't seem to belong in the same phrase. All that aside they've been charged with conspiracy. The report says they were arming themselves for war against the armies of the anti christ. OK so if they believe in all that shouldn't they believe that they'll already be gone in the rapture without ever needing the guns? All that aside is it illegal to arm yourself against the anti christ? I suppose if you feel he's already here and a US citizen it would be against the law. Unfortunately it makes anyone who wears the Christian name tag look like a part of the lunatic fringe. Not that I might not feel right at home with some of the lunatics but overall probably not an image the Christian faith would care to embrace.
