Please go do some research. The modern day Guard is not what the foundered intended, inn fact the Guard did not even exist until the early 20th century.
I'm not saying these guys the OP is describing is what the founders intended. But really, they are closer to the original state militia than the National Guard today.

This is correct. Our founding fathers wanted private citizens to band together in the event that the Government became too powerful and tried to limit civil liberties and individual rights to fight back. The NG us under Government control so it's not a militia by our founding fathers definition....IMO
And yes I would gladly join.....it's our duty.
