Will these folks be armed? Sounds like a crazy question, yet considering today’s ludicrous leaders, necessary.
The gimmick to this national guard idea, if you read through all the business around it....is that you’d easily be able to have a gun license and be allowed to carry a gun with you throughout the day. Typically, a hunting license was about the only way you could gain access to having a weapon and it meant you only carried it to the hunting area that you were going to visit. It opens up more doors for the general public to be armed and to confront any issues.
How many will join the national guard? Totally unknown. It might be a hundred thousand....it might be a million.
