Most importantly, I can read ENGLISH and understand that you don't need to know legalize to understand this. The Founders intended it that way.

I also have read the fed papers(29 and 46 in particular) and anti-fed papers. I also read US CODE on this issue. I took a course on the Federalist Papers from a conservative prof. I've read several law reviews on the subject from people ranging to your gun grabbing buddy Andrew Herz to David Kopel to Don Kates to Joyce Malcolm, not to mention court cases.

1. The National Guard is not THE militia. It's one aspect of it. That is by US Code as well as the constitution.
2. The Militia is the common citizenry. I don't mean the so called "Michigan Militia". I mean the common folk.
3. "Right of the People" means the same in the first as it does the 2nd amendment. Supreme Court backs me up there.
