How long might it take the us government to brand this or that militia, constitutionally approved or otherwise (none of them are..btw)...? A long damned time, we still haven't. Probably less if it were an exclusively black organization. If wall street organized it? We never would. They're called cops. You may misunderstand the idea of the social contract, I think, in a relatively common way. The social contract states what we civilized people will do -even when- we're dealing with a savage. That's the distinction that makes a difference.
So, sure, a criminal can (and should, and does) expect all of the benefits of the social contract afforded to his station or acts. That's usually not much, when it comes to criminals, but it's the basic unit. Think of it this way - just because a guy doesn't pay you, as per the contract, doesn't mean that you get to chop his arm off in retaliation. You already knew that, right?
