Gee, and I thought that the "unorganized militia" were a subset of the militia defined by federal law. Is that not the case?

You're correct. But I don't know what the federal definition of a federal militia has to do with the second amendment.

The second amendment is referring to well regulated state militias, such militias defined by each state.
