    The Guard was federalized which takes them out of Newsom’s control and puts them in Dipshit’s control.

        The NG actually is the militia. They’re normally state level but can be called up to federal level for reasons that are currently being badly misused.

          Apparently there is a State Guard in addition to the NG that is solely under the governor. It’s no where near equipped to hold back a federal force. I guess the optics alone would hopefully be enough to stop Trump.

            The State Defense Force is only a thing in some of the states, and an active unit in less than that. They’re really not even a consideration in any defense strategy.

              Well, if it’s not to defend its citizens against kidnapping in your largest city, then they might as well get rid of it entirely.
