Will the Guard be issued ammunition?

If not this will just be a toothless photo op for goodhair. If so it will be a formula for disaster. Think Ohio State or the Marines who killed an American Latino who was tending his family's goats. They claimed he shot at them. I believe that he never knew the Marines were there and was either plinking with his 22 or shooting at rabbits. The Marines were in camo.
