In order for a militia to function well it must have discipline. Thus, the Constitution specifies that it must be officered by state appointed officers and trained as Congress specified.

Your meaning is only one aspect of militia training. It could be made up of crack shots and great tacticians but,
if not under control of its officers and integrated into a command structure, it is essentially useless for many purposes.

That was the main problem Washington had with them. Militias were prone to break and run as soon as things did not go their way so the Commander of the Revolutionary forces tried to avoid them at all costs. That is why he had to train a Continental Army.

You are describing the organized militia. Ths Constitution alse defines the unorganized militia. The 2nd does not draw a distinction between the two insofar as whose guns are protected.

Still you fail utterly to explain why your insistance that the "burdened by government rules" definition is the one the founders had in mind. While Schumer and Feinstein would love for you to provide conclusive evidence of this, I find comfort in the knowledge that "because jsuati says so" evidence is not too convincing past the confines of your keyboard.
