Somebody posted on another thread that essentially, only military on active duty are funded now and that states have no National Guard units or anything else at the moment.

There’s still the militia; the whole of the population in Madison’s words

That would be wrong. The state national guard only belongs to the fed when it’s activated for that purpose. Otherwise, it’s at the direction of the governor of the state, who can call it out, but who also has to pay for it.

When Obama makes his last gasp totalitarian grab, he will first take every military base in America with his Secret Police Forces (DHS police, etc.). He cannot trust loyal Americans in the military and their bases are setup to be easily overrun. Just take over the base armories by executive order. IMHO.

Ever heard of Volunteer Regiments? The Stonewall Brigade would like to add the capture of Washington to it’s battle flag and they are just a short drive away.
