what was the militia force?

Answer 2

Correction: The National Guard is no longer the organized militia. The National Guard is now a reserve component of the US Army (US Air Force for the Air Guard). This came about as a result of the Defense Act of 1916, if my memory serves me. In Connecticut, the organized militia is the Governor's Foot Guard and the Governor's Horse Guard.

Speakeasy is correct in defining the unorganized militia. The Founders realized that the security of a free state depended on trained riflemen who are armed (and had their weapons in their homes). Until recently, the Department of Defense had a Director of Civilian Marksmanship to promote civilian marksmanship skills. Surplus military rifles and pistols were sold through this agency.

Today, the American people have allowed a foreign ideology to replace the American concept of self government. Our elected public servants now tell us which weapons they will allow us to own, whether it can have a bayonet lug, and so on. Today, the servant has become the master.

The solution is to replace those politicians who wish to rule over the American people with honest statesmen who will serve them.

Answer 3

The Militia was, and still is, all able bodied American men. They are required to own military firearms and be well trained in their use, in case they have to be called up to protect their community, their nation, or to oust government leaders who have usurped power in violation of our Constitution.

To this day, Federal Law recognizes two branches of the Militia, the 'Organized Militia' is the National Guard and the 'Unorganized Militia' is the rest of the male population.

The Militia is occasionally called upon to enforce security after hurricane disasters, during riots or in the case of "The Battle of Athens, Tennessee", to fight against corrupt Government officials who refuse to honor an election's results.

As the Constitution explains, the right to keep and bear arms (combat weaponry) shall not be infringed, in case the militia's service is needed to preserve a 'free state' - which has nothing to do with 'sporting' purposes.

Answer 4

Well it was the early version of the National Guard. It was made up of citizens who weren't in the Coloinal army. This force was called on when needed, and anyone could leave when they wanted to.
