Reply #9: Or...make a new militia.

[gorfle]

So the Dick Act passed.... what about that do you not understand, Mr constitutional scholar? It PASSED. It is the law. If OK wants to defederalize the militias, then introduce such a law and get IT passed.

I don't claim to be a constitutional scholar, but it would seem to me that if the federal government usurped the States' original military forces by law, there is nothing that I am aware of that prevents them from raising new military forces to replace those that were lost.

Texas also has such a milita, as I understand it (The Texas Guard).
