Ken it may not say in the Constitution "National Guard" the SCOTUS seems to read it that way. There is no right to privacy in the Constitution but the SCOTUS and even rabid Roberts says it is inherent in the forgotten 9th amendment. Framers intent is more than the words on the page and SCOTUS interpretation is a big deal. To be honest I don't like the militia interpretation as being the Guard as it erodes the personal protection/revolution aspects in the second amendment.
ETA: Can you tell I'm Jeffersonian versus Adams adherent? LOL
