New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced plans Wednesday to send the National Guard to the New York City subway system to help police search passengers’ bags for weapons, following a series of high-profile crimes on city trains.
Hochul, a Democrat, said she will deploy 750 members of the National Guard to the subways to assist the New York Police Department with bag searches at entrances to busy train stations.

The move came as part of a larger effort from the governor’s office to address crime in the subway, which included a legislative proposal to ban people from trains if they are convicted of assaulting a subway passenger and the installation of cameras in conductor cabins to protect transit workers.
The national guard isn’t really the military that he’s referring to. Most of the time they’re doing stuff for their home states, like this, or disaster response.
The national guard is that “armed and well regulated militia” the second amendment is actually talking about.
250 years ago, national guard would have been Tories. American born colonists loyal to the King, taking orders from people also loyal to him.
