Perpich--the NG was under Title 10 orders. The United States Supreme Court holds, 9-0, that the National Guard is part of the federal army, not a state army.
Yes, but the OP wanted to create a state militia, with tanks and frigates and what not.
I asked him to show his math for this massive outlay of other people's money.
There is MUCH a state can do to create the "seed bed" of the right to keep and bear arms without courting bankruptcy: tax incentives for training, tax deductions for ammo, mandating gun classes in schools, inter alia.
yes under title 10 order yes the guard are federal troops . but not title 32 and unlees they have title 10 order they are not federal US troops and are not paid buy federal money unless under title 10
