Paradox

I saw this over at The War on Guns.

The militia that defeated the British regulars in Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, followed the British retreat towards Boston and encamped upon the Cambridge Common and barracked in the halls of Harvard University. Emboldened by this militia's success, the Continental Congress declared this militia on June 14, 1775 to be the Continental Army. Upon this declaration, General George Washington rode from Philadelphia to Cambridge to take command of the Army on July 3, 1775.

Knowing what the "Founders" wrote on the topic and how they feared a standing army. I wonder what they thought of this event?
