"Congress shall have no power to disarm the militia."

Well, see? This is where I'm confused.

If the second amendment protected everyone's right to own a gun, then why say, "Congress shall have no power to disarm the militia". Not everyone was in the militia or even allowed to be part of the militia.

Who said "Congress shall have no power to disarm the militia"?
