If SCOTUS were to accept D.C.s arguments, the National Guard would need to be restructured and states would have a right to any and types of armament useful for making war.

The 50 states would have a constitutional duty to arm up.

Indeed, if legislators passed a law in Wyoming authorizing judges to officially induct any and all volunteers into the Wyoming militia who swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of Wyoming, and if the legislature provided that such persons be allowed full-auto machine guns, what argument could there be against that? If the Second Amendment doesn't protect individuals, and it doesn't protect state militias, what would it protect?
