I view the National Guard as what the Founding Fathers meant as to a well regulated militia. And the gunpowder, artillery, etc., for this militia would be kept under lock-and-keys.
The individual private citizens would become members of this militia. And would use the arms they use for hunting and defending themselves against natural threats like bears, wolves, etc., and Native Americans on the war path.
Wolves were hunted pretty much out of existence in New England.
