NOPE.
Not only no but hell no. I say this only because it sounds like you're suggesting this for launch, and that would be a terrible idea. As CCP has said many times, the more gear you can get unlimited quantities of with one purchase, the worse off the market is. I know everyone is constantly saying this game isn't EVE, but if you want to use a Forge Gun, you should have to skill for it. Same with any other higher level or Heavy weapon.

Militia gear =/= unlimited quantities.
I understand that cheap forge guns would be bad since vehicles are expensive, but it can have its power be severely reduced (like a militia forge gun can do half the damage of a standard). Even if that's still not acceptable, there is no reason why we shouldn't have militia anti-personnel weapons like laser rifles and mass drivers.

Virtually all of the infantry Militia gear has a BPO that you can buy that allows you unlimited usage of that asset.

It would increase weapon use variety among the new people.

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 3064	Posted - 2012.11.26 19:35:00 - [3] - Quote Militia forge gun (though severely weaker), militia laser rifle, mlilitia mass driver. militia HMG, militia scrambler rifle (when it comes), militia plasma cannon (when it comes), militia flaylock pistol (when it comes).

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 3064	Posted - 2012.12.16 23:32:00 - [6] - Quote I don't think there should be militia versions of variants, variants give incentive to invest skill points.

Yeah, but that is AUR, and I doubt CCP has some mandatory rule about making AUR variants for all militia items.
