The myth has it that the Supreme Court, in a case called United States v. Miller, interpreted the Second Amendment -- "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" -- as conferring a special privilege on the National Guard, and not as affirming an individual right.

This was my favorite part. I can't count how many times liberals have given me this National Guard bit.

In this day and time the President has more control of the National Guard than the govenors did before the era of 9-11. I would consider the NG to be part oa a standing army and not a militia. I would remind those 2nd Amendment protestors that because of that fact there is no "militia."
