There should be extra concern by now that Trump wants to "recruit external people to assist law enforcement" ...
Effectually he's raising his own separate militia so he can put them in action anywhere he wants and not be limited by the law where the Military/National Guard can not be used on American soil.

The law isn’t exactly stopping him now

Right. And no one has raised their own militia to start the civil war. So guns or no guns, what’s the difference?

Also would be nice if people in the military didn’t follow illegal orders, like they are supposed to do. And turned their command on those issuing the illegal orders. Should take some notes from South Korea when they had that thing like a year ago with their president.
