For the most part, a wonderful ruling, except for this:

The current version of the militia is the United States Army National Guard and Air National Guard.

Which is contrary to Federal law and has never been the meaning of the term "militia".

“Illinois Assault Weapon Ban and Registration Ruled Unconstitutional”. What is an assault weapon? I have a lot of rocks in my 600’ driveway, are they “assault” rocks? I suppose they could be if I picked them up and threw them at the bad guys. I think I’ll stick with an AR-10 instead.

The militia then was age-defined but there was also the Alarm List consisting of basically everyone else. It was the Alarm List members that stopped Percy's wagon train in Menotomy on April 19, 1775. Had Percy received the extra cannon ammo, we might be ruled by King Chuckie.
