"So everyone not in the militia can gotohell as far as gun ownership is concerned?"

Nope. It only means that if you're not in a well regulated state militia the second amendment does not protect your RKBA.

Your individual RKBA is protected by your state contitution. Even if it isn't protected by your state constitution (six state constitutions do not), that doesn't mean you're not allowed to keep and bear arms. It just means the right is not protected and state laws MAY be written to limit that right, assuming the citizens of the state concur.

Millions of Californians keep and bear arms legally and constitutionally, even though the California state constitution doesn't protect that right.

Thanks, sorry for the confusion on my part.

Are those millions of Californians now criminals in the eyes of the state?
