Maybe it's my lack of knowledge about procedures, but any of the news images I see the guns don't have magazines.
I don’t know of national guard actually being issued ammunition in any deployments I can remember.
IIRC, they had empty rifles when TXNG went down to the border to help border patrol. My guess is nobody wants a platoon of soldiers to open up on a group of protesters...again.
