Devil's advocate: How about a well-regulated militia, instead?
Doesn't really sound very good, no.

I find it difficult to believe that a state would ban the National Guard or similar organizations.

California has banned the creation of civilian militias. The national guard and a militia really are not the same thing. The national guard can be deployed. A militia us drawn from the populace.

Every expansion if gun control has been labeled a 'compromise'I don't see how less mass shootings, less gun violence, lower suicide rates, lower homicide rates, usually less violent crime in general, less shootings or gun accidents, a diminished illegal black market, a better name for actually responsible gun owners and so forth could possibly be understood as "we get nothing out of it".

Enjoy having your shit confiscated in ten years because you told the government where all the guns are, making the 2A completely useless as a deterrent.A registry does little to minimize crime and a lot to enable confiscation.How about this.I'll give you a thorough mental health background check that does not disqualify the disabled or depressed.You give me nationwide Concealed Carry reciprocity and stop pretending black semi-autos are "military-grade murder weapons".
