The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

1. I didn't know the US still had a constitution.

News to me.

4. When you come from a large Irish Catholic family you have to be quick with your jokes.

Or all your aunts, uncles, and cousins will steal the joke right out of your mouth.

3. Exactly

no matter what the anti-constitutional SCOTUS or the gun fetish crowd thinks, the Federalist Papers clearly show the 2nd Amendment was not about individual gun rights, but about Militias to defend the States. "Well Regulated Militia" is the key phrase, not "The Right to Bare Arms" absent of any qualification.
Trump commanding the National Guard over the objections of the State's Governor, or sending one State's Guard to another without consent is grossly unconstitutional.
Not that that matters anymore.
