Informal militia is not well-defined thus, it is hard to say exactly what might be meant by that today but it is not likely to have anything to do with firearms at all. Maybe cleaning up after floods, fires etc. or filling sandbags to prevent flooding. It is not referenced AT ALL in the Constitution as you initially tried to claim.

It is not MY idea but the idea of the Founders as to how a militia is constituted take your argument to them. The writers of the Constitution knew very well what they were describing and it is not the pathetic bunch of losers who call themselves the "Michigan Militia" or "the MOntana Militia."

I have no problem with provision of training in firearms for all law-abiding adults, in fact, I like the idea.

My definition of "well-regulated" comes from dictionaries. I note you have provided nothing which is applicable believing for some wierd reason that the militia was a type of clock. The Founders vision of a militia has nothing to do with clocks, hillary or Dick Dumbass Durbin the gun grabbing Senator from my State.

Wow! And all this time I thought the Militia was guard against govornment tyranny. Now I learn it merely a public works group.

The militia is all able bodied men. Not just those who are part of some formal organized units as you keep insisting. In fact by your reasoning, the militia is either:

1) the National Guard or

2) nonexistant.

LOL! So a person or a group of people cannot be "well functioning"? Only "burdened by government rules"? Um, Ok...
