I wonder how this does/would work in practice. Regulation of an armed body
by individuals would not appear to be too effective.
For instance, do you see, in a time of crisis in the US, a militia
sponteneously arising from its citizenry, and, leaderless, restoring
democracy to the country?
Who decides when to storm the White House?
Or if there is a leader of the militia, how is he or she to be appointed?
(Democratically electing a militia leader in a time a crisis would seem to
be a bit of a drain on resources...)
Cheers
