To be found?
Seems like this is THE missing piece of the 'defense against tyranny' puzzle.

My take is that armed citizens need the ability to form one when needed.

Lot of 3% III militia grooups but they are either undereducated rednecks or meth heads as far as I can tell. Not a lot of organization.

While a well-regulated militia is mentioned in the 2nd, it is the right of the PEOPLE that shall not be infringed.
The militia has nothing to do with your right.

Well, I guess you can count Skinheads, Antifa, MS-13, Crips, Bloods, and a plethora of urban gangs; plus a few groups of 'redneckersons' and cartelists and drug defenders(meth heads)
And if the Scouts still have a marksmanship badge, then add them in there too.
Hell, hunting clubs are organized for the most part.
So, yep. There are quite of number of 2nd Amendment groups.

This certainly is the picture the media wants to portray. They are the blue hairs of the right

Well regulated meant disciplined and effective.

I’m not sure where I read it, but I believe the Founding Fathers envisioned all males of fighting ages to be the militia. All males were supposed to have weapons so that they could respond to a threat.

State militias have basically been legislated out of existence and it started only a few years into this country and culminatong with the Insurrection Act of 1807. Then Lincoln pretty much killed any form of a state uprising ever again.

This.
“Well Regulated” in this context was more about an individual’s proficiency with arms, not government’s oversight.

Cannot get much more clear than US code;

The National Guard is basically owned by the Feds, right? Seems pointless as a militia with the purpose of state self-defense.

Highly recommend everyone read a period piece (published in 1782) titled “Tracts, Concerning the Ancient and only True Legal Means of National Defence, by a Free Militia” by Granville Sharp. It is a bit of a difficult read because it is written in period language. However, truly enlightening about what the intent and purpose of arming the populace. You can make the argument that this is no longer a necessity (I wholeheartedly disagree), but you cannot make the argument that the purpose and intent is not clear.

The National Guard is held hostage (oftentimes) by the Army and Air Force because of funding (weapons platforms, modernization, pay, et al). They can also be federalized as necessary. It makes for a very delicate balance.

You can't have a Militia if citizens aren't allowed to have guns..
