Reply #87: What is a gov militia?

[maxidivine]

"we have police, state troopers, and the national guard. ALL of those are a WELL REGULATED militia."

All of those, while they fulfill the description of "well-regulated" that was used when the Constitution was written, can not be construed as a militia.

In fact, any individual holding public office or employment in the government was excluded from militia duty, and do you know why?

Because that would create a conflict of interest in many of the situations in which the militia would be useful. The militia isn't something you join because you want to, the militia is something you are a part of from the day you turn seventeen until the day you turn forty-five, or until you renounce your citizenship.

Sorry dude but being a citizen is being a part of the militia.

Well-regulated did not mean that there is regulatory oversight from the government, it meant well trained and equipped.

So yes, the National Guard is quite well regulated. However, the National Guard ceased to even be a quasi-militia entity the day it was federalized under the Department of the Army.
Federal Government and Citizen Militia don't mix, they never have, and they never will.
