“Militia” should not be a demonized derisive negative term. When citizens band together for a common purpose (eg, volunteer fire department) that is in fact a “militia”. This goes to the right to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances. The 2nd amendment recognizes the right to militias, armed ones at that. The “militia” is defined by law as all of the people capable of carrying arms. So don’t get sucked in letting “militia” be portrayed as a dirty word: it is an American birthright.
