My state's constitution (and I think most states' say something very similar) says that "The organized militia shall be designated "The National Guard of Arizona," But, at the same time it says that the militia "shall consist of all capable citizens of the state between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years....."
Doesn't that imply that we should keep and bear arms (and maybe even practice once in a while), just in case we are called?
I wonder how many citizens of various states know that, in time of dire need, they could be called to service?
Red Dawn, anyone? "What? You want me to do WHAT?!"
Don’t worry.
FEMA’s ready.
