"Then you must agree that the People are guaranteed the right to keep and bear arms, not just state-organized miitias."

The people are guaranteed the individual right to keep and bear arms as part of a well regulated state Militia. It's an individual right that is only exercised collectively -- like voting. That's what's protected by the second amendment from federal infringement.

Your individual right to keep and bear arms outside of a Militia is protected by your state constitution.

What's your point? Are you trying to say that since no one has an official “militia id card” in his/her wallet that they aren't guaranteed the right to own a firearm?

The militia=the people=you and I

Do you disagree with that?
