Many states have have militias already:
State defense forces (SDF) (also known as state guards, state military reserves, or state militias) in the United States are military units that operate under the sole authority of a state government; they are partially regulated by the National Guard Bureau but they are not a part of the Army National Guard of the United States.[1] State defense forces are authorized by state and federal law and are under the command of the governor of each state.
Militias don't depend upon privately armed citizens anyway. The weapons are organized and stockpiled. People that are truly worried about federal tyranny should be advocates for their own state militias, or if they live in a state without one they should be advocating for the establishment of one.

State government is no less prone to tyranny than the federal government. I don't consider myself one of the tin-foil hat wearing types that expects collapse around every corner, but if one accepts the 2nd amendment as a protection from a tyrannical government, then protection from the state government must be considered as well and a state run militia does not provide such protection.
