"And again (a point you keep resisting): there was NO punishment for one outside the defined militia membership being armed"

I never said there was. All I said was that their RKBA was not protected by the second amendment.

You seem to think that implies it's somehow illegal to be armed. I don't know where you get that.

You seem to think that it's OK for any/all level of government to make it illegal to be armed so long as some government-authorized subset of the population is government-authorized to possess government-authorized arms under government-authorized restrictions. I don't know where you get that.

From your prior reasoning (esp. the bit analogizing library cards), the states could ban guns outright, and the feds could ban guns so long as there is an exception for Irish-descended midgets wielding muskets while on patrol for the UN in Nigeria.
