Congress shall have power... To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
Now what is convoluted or unclear? This was deemed a national security issue and that's why they granted such a power to Congress. Two years later, they flat out said a well regulated militia was necessary to the security of a free state.
How can a State disarm its citizens without violating the above Clauses and the Second Amendment?
Again, IF!!!!!!!!!!!!! the fed gove were to pass a law dictating in some way that people be armed for the good of the mil, I would agree with you. I already have. They have as of yet passed no such law. I sure wish they would.
