The Amendment speaks of a "militia"

It sure does. Too bad this brain-dead moron doesn't realize that there were three "branches" of the military in the Revolutionary era - regulars (Washington's troops), irregulars (Minutemen), and militia (every other able-bodied male).

"The Amendment speaks of a "militia"

And if it is about militia how come that it is a second item in something called "Bill of Rights" ?

These morons also ignore the usage of "the people" in the First, Fourth and Ninth Amendments. In each case it preserves or reserves the rights of individual persons.
