"Or that without those arms, there is no way for civilians to participate in militia duty."

Ya gotta wonder how the National Guard does it!

You're really not too bright, are you?

Addressed in the ruling. You still haven't finished that remedial reading course? You'd better get crackin'... instead of smoking it...

National Guard is not the militia.
The militia is those OUTSIDE of the uniformed services.

Oh, the National Guard isn't a true militia because they have flags in their armories with yellow fringe put there by the Illuminati.

The National Guard has been deemed a "select militia" by SCOTUS - not to be confused with the general (or "unorganized" as noted by the DC Circuit's verdict which you obviously haven't read, because they clearly addressed this) militia.

There certainly is a place for the gov't to provide arms to the select militia and standing army - reasons including commonality, assurance and affordability. There is also a place for militia members outside those groups to provide their own weapons, making sure those called up can show up armed and ready immediately, as the gov't is not necessarily able to equip large numbers under difficult conditions immediately (heck, they're having trouble keeping up with weapons needs in Iraq for the select militia; if you're called up, you may need to bring your own).
