THE Gun Thread

[Rev. Rye]

@Rev. Rye That's true, the national guard predates the continental army by more than 100 years I believe. Still though, by 1787 the army had been around a bit and well.. wars, independence and stuff...

Of course, the Continental Army that fought in the American Revolution was disbanded in 1783. By the time of the Constitution’s framing, all that remained was a single legion and the state militias.
