DRAFT me in times of dire need of national defense, and I will consent.

Might be kind of late to get trained when the enemy is at the gate.

"A well-regulated [i.e.: prepared] militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

I spend about $2000 each year to maintain and improve my tools and training. In addition I take DCM/CMP classes for gov't-provided instruction. I'm doing my part to provide a "well-regulated militia". Is the gov't providing enough VOLUNTARY and peacetime training to common citizens? no. DCM/CMP is the proper route for the gov't to provide training to non-military citizens, unfortunately it is woefully under-supported.

I understand the issue in question. The solution is NOT involuntary servitude, the solution is gov't promotion and providence of adequate voluntary training.
