Thread Name: BS: Constitutional Guarantees
Subject: RE: BS: Constitutional Guarantees
The Constitution is quite clear on what constitutes a "well-regulated militia." It means an armed force run by the state, not the federal government. This is exactly what the National Guard was intended to be. If you feel that the Guard is overly influenced by the federal government, that's an issue for you to take up with your senator. It doesn't give you the right to constitute your own militia.
