The active militia wasn't supposed to be everyone. Early drafts of the Second Amendment included a clause for the "religiously scrupulus" to opt out of militia service, but still allowed them the same protection for their RKBA. But, in order to have enough folks to fill out a good sized militia, they codified a protection for what they saw as an idividual Right.

Which seems to give folks like you the fits.

Sorry about that, but you'd better learn to deal with it.

Seems to me that if they were looking for enough folks to fill out a good sized Militia, they wouldn't have infringed on the inanlienable RKBA of women, blacks, and seniors.
