Wow. Someone putting sheriffs and swat where they belong enforcing the law instead of watching their fellow Americans and shooting their dogs. Refreshing.
Put together volunteer rotations by counties, and start building "men" again. Use the Guard to train them up. Build camaraderie, unity, and keep the costs way down.
And yes, there would be a capable state-wide militia within three years. Nobody would screw with Texas, you roll back liberal thinking due to the positive outcomes (men standing up in the communities with rifles), and it'd be an example for the rest of the union.
The left would lose their shiite.
