This is a positive as it clearly separates the Guard from being the Militia. The idea of the Guard not being the militia or Minute Men reinforces the 2nd Amendment.

Stupid comment.
The Guard IS the militia. The militia clauses of the Constitution apply to the militia, which is understood to be today’s Guard. Using you logic, or lack thereof, today’s Guard would have no justification for its existence if it’s not a militia.
I think you make a reasonable point.
