The Second Amendment states: "A well regulated military, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Many of our Republican friends and members of the Congress have advocated for activation of the National Guard to seal the U.S. and Mexican border.

Perhaps the proper group to activate would be the militia. I am sure that a membership list of the National Rifle Association would be of great assistance in getting the first group to the border.
