"By your own post citing the Militia Act and the one I supplied from USC I get the feeling your describing yourself."

Nope. I'm the one who has consistently and repeatedly said that the second amendment protects those in the state Militias from federal infringement.

You and others have been saying that's passe, old school -- that the second amendment protects the individual rights of everyone, even 85-year-old women.

" -- We are the militia either organized or unorganized. The fact that the state elects not to utilize the militia by forming a Company is moot. If the state decides to then we are to show up with OUR arms.
Pretty simple. --"

The Founders were very specific. The second amendment says a "well regulated" Militia. The U.S. Constitution says a "trained" Militia with "officers appointed by the state". Now, if your unorganized militia meets that criteria, then the second amendment applies.

The second amendment not only protects the individual rights of everyone [even 85-year-old women] from fed, state, or local infringements, it also protects those in the state Militias.
-- It's part of our supreme Law of the Land, - an inalienable right that no one is empowered to prohibit.
