Where does the State Defense Force (State Guard) fit in? About half the states have one.

Those would be organized state militia. It still doesn't preclude the unorganized militia that still exists in EVERY state for defense of state or country. Incidentally the 2nd makes no reference to just organized and addresses both classes defined as militia. The definitions haven't been changed and still apply.

ctdonath2: fit in part (2) because they are not part of the National Guard

You two maybe want to get together and figure out where the State Guard fits in?

"Incidentally the 2nd makes no reference to just organized and addresses both classes defined as militia"

Well, it does say "well regulated" -- and "unorganized" doesn't sound well regulated.

Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, however, isn't referring to some armed, unorganized, neighborhood watch. It's referring to an official state militia.
