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. Wow! And all this time I thought the Militia was guard against govornment tyranny. Now I learn it merely a public works group.
It is not referenced AT ALL in the Constitution as you initially tried to claim.
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.
I note you have provided nothing which is applicable believing for some wierd reason that the militia was a type of clock.
LOL! So a person or a group of people cannot be "well functioning"? Only "burdened by government rules"? Um, Ok...
No, the Militias were NEVER a guard against "govornment" tyranny or even government tyranny. Initially they were bodies organized by communities to defend them against Indian attacks. Then they were organized by Colonies' governments to fight in the Revolution or with the British against the French (see the life of George Washington, a colonel in the Virginia militia) or Indians. Then they were organized by State governments. True militias were organized and recognized by Governments. Why don't you study a little history this is not a secret or a mystery?
At one period they were even organized ethnicly. For example, Chicago had large German militias during the late 1800s which armed and drilled. These were generally socialist and alarmed the State government so much they were banned and gun control laws first imposed against them. For fear they would lead a socialist revolution.
In modern times they have disappeared although the state constitution still defines the militia as being made up of all able bodied males. But their military use has disappeared. They were never designed to fight governmental armies except in your fantasies.
