FIRST, since you made the claim initially, post a source claiming that it involves ONLY and SOLELY members of the States’ militias. From the Founders. if you please.

And the federal law regarding militias... yes they ARE militia men and women and it really IS a militia, the UNORGANIZED militia. And it says ALL able bodied... been that way for over 100 years or so...

"FIRST, since you made the claim initially"

I never claimed I had a jillion quotes (or even one quote) from the Founders that the second amendment only protects the RKBA of individuals as part of a well regulated Militia. This is my opinion, my interpretation, of the second amendment based on a number of factors.

"yes they ARE militia men and women and it really IS a militia, the UNORGANIZED militia. And it says ALL able bodied... been that way for over 100 years or so..."

I agree. But they're not well regulated. Nor do they have officers appointed by the state. Therefore, this unorganized militia is not the militia referred to in the U.S. Constitution.
