I'll raise ya in regard to the militia 'argument that gets used very selectively.

The classes of the militia are --

(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia."

Even during the Revolutionary War, freed slaves fought in the Militia. Being freed was also an incentive given to slaves to get them to fight in the Militia as well.

The "only white land owners had Rights" crap is just another leftist canard that ignores pesky little things like FACTS.

"The classes of the militia are -- (1) the organized militia ... and (2) the unorganized militia ..."

Where does the State Defense Force (State Guard) fit in? About half the states have one.
