2nd Amendment validation

for almost a decade, on this forum, there have been arguments and debates about what entity enjoys the 2nd Amendment right.......whether it was the national guard or the people of each state.......

the right has always believed it to be a right of the people in order to defend against a tyrannical government..............

now, the left has always sided with the idea that it's only a right of a 'well regulated militia', which would be the states national guard.

the left has never wanted to look at the founders arguments and beliefs in what the militia is, though.........mainly because it destroys their narrative...............well, it was factually destroyed today

because, IF, a states national guard can be co-opted by the federal government at any time, then it's most certainly not the militia that guarantees the security of a free state.

The National Guard is not a state militia. It is the national militia.

Nothing prevents Texas or any other State from organizing a State militia to repel invaders, put down a rebellion, or defend against a rogue federal government.
 
Constitution of United States of America 1789 (rev. 1992)

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.



Who regulated your ass well?
 
Let us regulate you well


It’s what the founders intended


Why do you hate the second amendment?

Did you know Nazi Germany supported disarming Jews of their guns!?

The national guard is a state militia that can be nationalized in time of war. It isn't necessarily the only militia a state can organize however.

An example of militia that went into military service would be Roosevelt's Rough Riders. Roosevelt organized and recruited the membership of the unit then offered it for military service. That's an example of militia outside the national guard, which before it was the national guard it was called the "organized militia."

No. The National Guard is the NATIONAL militia. They are not a State militia of any State.
They may be called for by a governor of a State, but they are the National militia. That's why they are called the National Guard.

Incidentally, it is the right of the federal government, as a government entity, to defend itself by calling forth a national militia, which is what the National Guard is. Unlike State militias, which must be disbanded in times of peace, the national militia can be left a standing army.
Just as it is the right of a State to defend itself by calling forth a State militia. Washington State, for example, has a 'militia' of 75 members at the moment, which are administrative personnel. None of them are troops. If activated, the State militia can be organized pretty quickly in this way.

We also have a National Guard base at our local federal fort, Fort Lewis.
