[William Tell]

robertpaulsen said: "Yes, the right of individuals to bear arms collectively in a militia for the security of a free state are protected from federal infringement."

Pray tell, robertpaulsen, how does an individual KEEP and bear arms collectively?

Please explain what part of the remand of the US Supreme Court in US vs. Miller required militia participation on the part of Miller. (Hint: There was none.)

Please explain what requirements must be met for a person to be a member of the unorganized militia and how frequently such militia meets.

You are correct -- Miller is silent.

But the lower federal courts (save the 5th) have been quite vocal on the subject. Don't tell me I have to actually find a decision for you. Try Silveira V Lockyer for starters.

C'mon, you know this stuff almost as well as I do.
