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.

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.

There is only one militia referenced within the Constitution. However, some State constitutions and other laws make it clear that EVERY able bodied male is a part of the militia. Chuckie, Feinstein and the Witch will get no help from my position on gun control or the meaning of the Second amendment.

How did you come up with the idea that I claimed or believe there is some distinction about which group of people's guns were protected under the 2d? I didn't and don't believe any such thing. It clearly says "the right of the PEOPLE...." NOT some groups of people.

I am not the one threatening to desert the the gungrabbers' greatest enemy over a squabble over AW bans. Those are the people who will play into their hands, not I.
