In colonial times we were a colony of ENGLAND. The militia fought AGAINST ENGLAND. It maintained its own cache of weapons. In fact the Revolution began when the British regulars tried to confiscate the Lexington militia's weapons and the militia refused and fought back.
The National Guard is a unit of the central government, its weapons are maintained by the central government, it gets its orders from the central government.
How is it that people who oppose the Second Amendment believe that that these two types of organization, which appear in every relevant respect to be the opposite of each other, to mean the same thing?
