Congress may tell the states how to "Discipline" their militias does not mean that the BOR applies to the states. Are you saying that congress could pass a law saying, "We discipline your militia by demanding that you have no gun restrictions."???

I'm not making a BOR argument here. I'm saying the States may not interfere with powers delegated to Congress, ie the arming of the Militia-- which is defined under Federal law as males between 18-45 and women in the NG.

I'm saying courts have a basis for striking down State anti-gun laws due to violations of Article I, Section 8.
