It's called the National Guard. They're the ones who need to be armed, not Joe Sixpack.

The National Guard takes orders from the respective governors and the pentagon with the latter having superior control.

I think it is clear the framers did not intend that for the militia definition. For all practical purposes the NG is part of the standing army.
