The Insurrection Act is a dangerous law that gives the president broad powers to authorize far-reaching uses of the military in the domestic sphere.

The National Guard is a unique entity that functions as both a state militia and a federal reserve force. Each state has its own National Guard, which can be called up by the governor for state emergencies like natural disasters or civil unrest, effectively acting as a state militia. However, the National Guard is also organized, trained, and equipped under federal authority, and can be federalized by the President for national missions, such as overseas deployments or federal emergencies. This dual role is rooted in the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 8), which allows Congress to provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia while reserving certain powers to the states. So, the National Guard is a state militia when under state control, but it’s also a federal force when activated by the U.S. government. This distinguishes it from purely state-based militias or private militias, which lack federal integration.

Nope. The National Guard is a national militia. It has nothing to do with States.

The National guard is not a State militia. It is a national militia.
State militias are formed under the authority of a State under the 2nd amendment and Article I.

Washington's State militia currently contains 75 members (administrative personnel). It has NOTHING to do with the national militia (the National Guard).

Here are the key sources that substantiate the information provided on the National Guard's dual role as both a state militia and a federal reserve force, rooted in the U.S. Constitution's Article I, Section 8. I've included hyperlinks and brief notes on their relevance for clarity:
  • U.S. Constitution Annotated (Library of Congress): Discusses Congress's power under Article I, Section 8, Clauses 15–16 to organize, arm, and call forth the militia, while reserving state authority. It explicitly addresses the National Guard's dual enlistment system, where members serve as state militia under governors but can be federalized by the President without state veto.
    https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C16-1/ALDE_00013673/
  • Legal Information Institute (Cornell Law School): Analyzes the militia clauses in Article I, Section 8, confirming the National Guard's status as state militia personnel (not federal employees when under state control) and its federalization process, including Supreme Court approval in cases like Perpich v. Department of Defense.
    https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/article-1/section-8/clause-15–16
  • Veterans Breakfast Club: The Constitutional History of the Guard and Reserve: Explains the plenary congressional authority under Article I, Section 8 to organize and call forth state militias (including the National Guard) for federal purposes, while states retain control for local emergencies like insurrections or invasions.
    https://veteransbreakfastclub.org/the-armies-and-the-militia-a-legal-status-overview/
  • Justia: The Militia Clauses: Details how Article I, Section 8 limits apply differently to the federalized National Guard versus state-controlled units, with no requirement for a national emergency for federal training or activation.
    https://law.justia.com/constitution/us/article-1/58-the-militia-clauses.html
These sources draw directly from constitutional text, federal statutes (e.g., Titles 10 and 32 U.S.C.), and Supreme Court precedents to affirm the Guard's hybrid structure, distinguishing it from purely state or private militias.

This describes a national militia. It is organized by the federal government. As a national militia, it's purpose is to defend the United States, and every State.

It is not a State militia. It is a national militia (that also happens to serve the States).

The federal government does have authority to call forth State militias, but the National Guard is a national militia.

It is a national militia. The 'hybrid' nature is nothing more than that militia also serving States. It is NOT any State militia.
State militias have NOTHING to do with the national militia. Nothing you have referenced designates the national militia as a State militia.

Private militias are illegal in most States (including Washington).
The right of self defense is to individuals, but they may NOT organize into private militias.

Thus, the rioting, violence, arson, and looting by Antifa fucks is ILLEGAL. It is insurrection.
