The Constitution grants Congress the power to organize “the militia”. It does not say “the militias of the various states”, it does not say “state militias”, it simply says “the militia” and does so in the context of the whole of the USA.
Likewise the 2nd Amendment - which refers to the “militia”, not “state militia”.
Stop moving words around, and adding them to where they aren’t.
Correct. The U.S. Constitution says "the militia". But it is certainly referring to a state militia. What other kind of militia has its officers appointed by each state?
"Likewise the 2nd Amendment - which refers to the “militia”, not “state militia”."
Correct. The second amendment says "well regulated militia". But it is certainly referring to a well regulated state militia. What other kind of militia is well regulated (organized, trained, armed, and accoutered)?
Under the Militia Act of 1792, Congress organized a state militia. The Militia Act was not referring to a federal militia nor a neighborhood militia. It was referring to a state militia with officers appointed by the state.
