How State and Federal NICS eliminate the 2A

[stanc]

If the "National Guard" is in another State or deployed overseas acting in the capacity of Army Reserves, how do they protect the State under the Governor's leadership?

Obviously, when National Guard units are deployed overseas, they are not available for operations within their State.

So tell me, how is that any different from when State militias were deployed overseas in the Spanish-American War?

"I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers."
- George Mason, Address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 4, 1788

That is a demonstrably false statement. Women and children were not required to serve in the militia.

Nor were black people, almost all of whom were prohibited by law from even owning guns.

"...the ultimate authority, wherever the derivative may be found, resides in the people alone..."
- James Madison, Federalist No. 46, January 29, 1788

Heh, heh. If that were true, "the people" could just ignore laws they consider unconstitutional.

This isn't the thread to knee-jerk a subtractively-argumentative exercise in debate for the sake of debate.
This is a real series of events that are negatively affecting people.
Even for those that are prepared, we make regular firearms purchases and buy ammo regularly.
Let's say I discover that my new concealed carry handgun doesn't fit my tastes as well as I thought it would.
Now I would like to go purchase another one that will fill that void.
Sorry, background checks are back-logged, sucks to be you.
How about the young adults who have waited under the arbitrary rules of 18yrs or 21yrs of age for legal purchases through FFLs?
It isn't their fault that this all happened right when they came of age under these anti-2A laws.
What is their redress? The Constitution forbids laws from being made preventing them from keeping and bearing, and yet here are these massive legal walls preventing them from doing so.

I bought my first 1911 at age 19. Walked into the gun shop, picked the one I wanted, plunked down 35 bucks and walked out with pistol in hand. No background check, no waiting period.

So I empathize, and dislike the situation as much as you do. However, the Supreme Court has consistently held that government does have the Constitutional authority to make such laws.

"What is their redress?" I really do not see any legal option. The courts are not going to overturn these laws, and no POTUS, Senator, or Representative will bother trying to repeal them.
