>>>Miller v. US is on of the most cited cases concening Second Ammendment rights.<<<

According to the SCOTUS in U.S. vs Miller, every adult male is in the militia and has the right to keep and bear an M-16. This came from the fact that the court never challenged Miller's assertion that he was in the militia; and from the fact that the only reason the court ruled against Miller was the erroneous belief by the court that his sawed-off shotgun was not of a type used by the military.

Please read my post #55.

The whole "Militia" thing is overstated and misinterpreted.
Belonging to a militia has no bearing on one's right to "keep and bear arms".
