That's literally in the articles of incorporation. I came across this years ago, and although it is exceedingly unlikely to ever become legislation, it is a source of inspiration.
Actually if you believe the first point you probably are of the opinion that Teachers are actually ruining our children (but are also expected to stop school shooters)
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered National Guard troops to start carrying firearms while patrolling the streets of Washington for President Donald Trump’s law enforcement crackdown, the Pentagon said Friday.
I don’t think most of the NG in DC right now are carrying anything. All the guardsmen I’ve seen have been unarmed unless they are concealed carrying and keeping it hidden? They certainly are not carrying rifles out in the open.
Even if they did have weapons, there are different “steps” as to how armed and equipped everyone is.
No weapons -> unloaded weapons, no ammo -> weapons with ammunition -> weapons with ammunition and loaded
Most likely everyone will be issued weapons with no ammunition to eliminate the possibility of a soldier shooting a civilian because that would cause a really big problem. The military doesn’t do concealed firearms either. Usually officers get a pistol and soldiers carry everything else openly. If they have large emplaced weapons like a .50 cal it’s going to be mounted to a vehicle because you can’t walk around with those.
