Obama Administration Is Disarming the "Select Militia": the Air National Guard

"The Combat Air Forces restructure draws to a close this week, as the
last of 252 legacy A-10, F-15, and F-16 fighters make their way into
retirement. The drawdown concludes on Wednesday and Thursday with the
induction of two final F-16s from the South Dakota Air National
Guard's 114th Fighter Wing at Sioux Falls into the Air Force's
boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., said Capt. Shannon Collins, an
Air Combat Command spokeswoman. The boneyard is the resting place for
out-of-service airframes. Collins told the Daily Report that the final
three F-15s were inducted into the boneyard on Sept. 30. They came
from the Massachusetts ANG's 104th FW in Westfield (two) and Florida
ANG's 125th FW in Jacksonville (one). The majority of the retired
fighters went to the boneyard, but some are being converted to ground
instructional training aircraft, noted Collins. USAF leadership has
said the retirement of these fighters would save about $3.5 billion
over the future years defense plan."

Disarming the "Select Militia" (aka: the National Guards) in the name
of cost savings.

I wonder if Dougie Harrison, Herr LiegenWeasel, is going to complain
about this as much as he has tried to disarm the rest of the Militia
of the Constitution; aka those NOT in the Army and Air National
Guards?

Nevertheless:

"Foolish liberals who are trying to read the Second Amendment
out of the Constitution by claiming it's not an individual right or
that it's too much of a public safety hazard don't see the danger
in the big picture. They're courting disaster by encouraging others
to use the same means to eliminate portions of the Constitution
they don't like."
— Alan Morton Dershowitz, Gun Control Advocate
