Agree. And if a state did so and choose to equip it's members with Full Auto weapons then they could and the NFA would not stop them. Even Walter Dellinger, hostile attorney in Heller admits that. However, an individual may not circumvent the NFA and possess an unregistered FA by asserting membership in a militia the state has not called up or made provision for.
