With respect to militia, then and now; Then, militia were roughly trained townsfolk defending their property, now we have a state militia in states national guards. The self proclaimed "militia" are not really militia in the constitutional sense other than that we are all militia if we choose to be. Wikipedia topic on the constitutional meaning of militia.... If anything, the implication was that for national defense we rely on states training the populace who provide their own arms and ammunition.
County sheriffs, town police, and swat teams are also examples of local militia.
