I see a great opportunity. We're missing the “well regulated militia”. It's time for us, “We The People,” to form it and “regulate” it.

The Militia Act of 1792 further defines it as the whole people, particularly, “every able-bodied man” from age 18 to 45.

Shucks.

The “well-regulated militia” thing is solely a STATE function. The individual’s rights, in addition to participation in a STATE function, ABOVE ALL and supreme to ALL are covered by the last part.....IOW it goes, “We the people”, the STATES (the rights we give them), and then the Federal Government (those rights not claimed by the STATES) delegated to the Federal Government.

As far as I’m concerned these United States are people, states, THEN Federal Government.
