They already have a state controlled militia.

It’s called the National Guard.

The article says that they would help in disasters but wouldn’t be subject to military call-up and the National Guard is.

Serve your country, but don’t serve your country? So basically, they’re a bunch of [really fat] guys with guns, slinking around the woods in camouflage to do WHAT, I just wonder… (but you knew that already :p)
