3. Ah yes, let's not forget other well-regulated militias across the land

Nov 2019

to include the uniformed National Guard forces in each state (who may be commanded to enter a fray or disaster) by governors or acquired and commanded by the Federal Government) and armed and equipped with many skills.

And the uniformed Coast Guard under Dept Homeland Security and/or Navy; depending on combatant mission
And the newly created to-be-uniformed (can't wait for the fashionistas to decide what their official sidearm will be) Space Force under the Air Force.

Other uniformed but non-combatant military:
United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (detain and jab?)
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps
Other ceremonial units of ROTC, state historical militias,

Of course, there's the not-so-well maintained militia/lobbyist/loyalists as well. I.C.E.; Border Patrol, TSA, Forest Rangers, Secret Service, DEA, ATF...Entities like the NRA members whose arguments against gun control include the misapplication of force from all of the above...it's really more worrisome every single day that they may actually have a point while reported domestic gun violence is epidemic as depicted by MSM as civilian domestic and foreign mafia members, ex-lovers, neighborhood gangs, bikers, drug lords, pimps, other secret "enterpreneurs" of justice a.k.a assasins, live what you game social groups, cosplay members, hunters and poachers...and the merely mentally maladjusted...who does that leave???
