This is why I think you founding father wrote the first part into the secound amendment:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State"
Maybe instead of being so focused on the secound bit look at the first bit
Title 10 USC 311. Militia composition and classes. All able-bodied americans from 17 to 45 years of age are members of the Militia. American women who are members of the national guard are members of the Militia. Former members of the U.S.Army, navy, air force and Marine corps are members of the Militia until 64 years of age. (described in 32-313). The national guard and naval militia are called the organized Militia. The unorganized militia is everyone in the militia who is not in the national guard or the naval militia. It's the Law, want to bet most members of congress Don't know the law.

What I can say it wont some fun jolly fight that the USA would win easly hands down.
It would be a long drawn out bloody war with hundreds or thousands to millions of causlities that could go either war and the after effects would last for years.

Well unless Kim Jong un or Ahmadinejad can pull aircraft carriers and 5th gen fighter planes out there arses (and no doubt Kim Jong un has told his people he can ) I doubt the USA has to fear a foreign invasion. Even China and Russia who COULD build a projection force dont for the time being have any imperialistc ambitions regarding the USA.

Yup that a big threat.
Dunno what the best counter there is to that except more powers to FBI, CIA and NSA but then that option sucks.....
The biggest Japanese attack on U.S. soil, however, was an actual, honest-to-God invasion. In fact, for a while it looked like it could have actually become a major battlefront. Its destination was even less expected than the previous ones: The Japanese brought their A-game to the extremely surprised residents of the tiny Alaskan Aleutian Islands. In a legendary feat of thoughtlessness, however, they then proceeded to try to attack Canada. As fighting an enemy while standing on another enemy's soil is referred to in military strategy books as "What? S*** no," Japan soon found itself beaten back by the collective force of the American and Canadian troops. Read more: www.cracked.com...

I could support an idea like this if certain precautions were taken. Every state should have a well-armed militia, because this is the only way the states can ensure their individuality and power against the Federal government.
