The suggestion of the National Guard is a ‘loaded’ problem. I would take a guess that roughly 90-percent of Guard members themselves...have such weapons, and would refuse to take such orders.

Refuse? Unlikely. Don't know if you ever served in the Armed Forces but I did. I never deliberately and knowingly disobeyed an order mainly because I feared Leavenworth.

OTOH I can easily see many Guardsmen called up doing their utmost...short of a court martial...to impede the mission in various ways...mainly through "inaction".
