A 1999 US Department of Justice analysis of the potential militia threat at the Millennium conceded that the vast majority of militias were reactive (not proacrive) and posed no threat.[14]
From wikipedia:
As of 2001, the militia movement seemed to be in decline, having peaked in 1996 with 858 groups.[15] Even the Michigan Militia (with which McVeigh and the Nichols brothers had grown frustrated due to its seeming preference for talk over action)[16] disbanded. Prior to that, it had kicked out its most radical members in the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing; they formed the North American Militia, whose leaders, Brad Metcalf and Randy Graham, later received 40- and 55-year sentences, respectively, for terrorist plots against the IRS and federal officials.
Militias' primary forms of outreach are gun shows, shortwave radio, newsletters, and the Internet.[17]
mind you, the vast majorities of MILITIAS, that's not even Christians we're talking about.
