[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 1830099, member: 8373"] The bill was amended on the floor to include the Ku Klux Klan and unauthorized militias specificially.Here is an exerpt from the story referring to it- Recruiting membership in an unauthorized militia or the Ku Klux Klan ([url]http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Ku+Klux+Klan&CATEGORY=ORGANIZATION[/url]) would be a crime if legislation approved Thursday by the House of Representatives ([url]http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=U.S.+House+of+Representatives&CATEGORY=ORGANIZATION[/url]) becomes law. "This is making unauthorized militias illegal,” said Rep. Mike Shelton ([url]http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Mike+Shelton&CATEGORY=PERSON[/url]), the amendment’s author. Both groups were added in an amendment to Senate Bill 2018, which would increase the penalty for aiding or soliciting gang membership from one year in prison to five years in prison. It also would create a new crime for gang-related offenses as a condition of membership, with the penalty being five years in prison. "There has been a great deal of attention given to increasing the penalties for those involved in gang activity, and while I agree that gangs are terrorizing many communities, they are not the only such threat in our state,” said Shelton, D-Oklahoma City ([url]http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Oklahoma+City&CATEGORY=CITY[/url]). "In Oklahoma ([url]http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Oklahoma&CATEGORY=STATE[/url]), we have seen the damage done by militia fanatics,” said Shelton ([url]http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Shelton&CATEGORY=CITY[/url]), referring to the truck bombing 15 years ago of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building ([url]http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Alfred+P.+Murrah+Federal+Building&CATEGORY=ATTRACTION[/url]) in Oklahoma City. "The Ku Klux Klan has a long history of violence and domestic terrorism,” he said. Basically, they are relating militia to a gang, and that is how they did it. This came about because of the tea party and alex jones. [/QUOTE]
