"You previously claimed that the second amendment protected a “State Militia.”

Never. I have said that the "well regulated Militia" of the second amendment referred to a state Militia.

"Scalia supports the view that individuals outside the militia have a right to arms “the people’s weapons” - something you also contested."

Scalia didn't say "individuals outside the militia". He was referring to members of a milita -- that the way militias were destroyed was not by passing laws against them but by disarming those who formed the militia.

You are the one making the extraordinary claim that only some (those with state appointed officers) well regulated militias are covered by the second amendment.

Cite your source.
(Or did you make this up all by yourself?)
