Not being from the US, so I may be wrong.
As I understand it, in peacetime, the National Guard is under the control of the State Governor.
When the US is in a 'State of War' the President gains control of all National Guard Units as Commander in Chief.
The POTUS wants a declared war so that the National Guard cannot be used against the Federal Behemoth.
The declaration of war on Drugs and the declaration of war on Terrorists both enacted these provisions effectively separating the National Guard from the Governors' control.
Do not expect these phony wars to end any time soon!
I had this same idea also but did not post it as it is de facto registration of gun owners (not necessarily their guns).
Yes just like how they asked for the "yellow forms" (Form 4473) in the original Red Dawn movie. Might as well by a title II weapon from a class 3 dealer then.
i cant be in the militia or i would but they don't accept felons... I guess I cant help defend the 2nd amendment
How to save the second amendment?
I didn't know there existed a movement to amend the Bill of Rights.
So it doesn't need saving...IT NEEDS ENFORCEMENT BY THE PEOPLE.
We need to remind our politicians and lawmakers that THIS IS the law, and that THEY
SHALL adhere to it...
"....the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
If they have a problem understanding any of those words, hand them a dictionary
well-regulated adj (well regulated when postpositive) (of a business, military outfit, routine, etc.) controlled or supervised to conform to rules, regulations, tradition, etc. a well-regulated militia

Joining a militia does not mean your allowed to have weapons with no rules.
