[Roscoe]

However, his opinion is that militia units must be controlled by state/local government and the rule of law

The actual quote:

"To suppose arms in the hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private self-defense, or by partial orders of towns, countries or districts of a state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that liberty can be enjoyed by no man; it is a dissolution of the government. The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws."
-- John Adams

Those who hold that the right to keep and bear arms is a call to anarchy show their hatred for our nation's Constitution and our historic systems of law.

"Those who hold that the right to keep and bear arms is a call to anarchy show their hatred for our nation's Constitution and our historic systems of law."

So? Do you have a point roscoe?

- Who here at FR do you suspect -- "hold that the right to keep and bear arms is a call to anarchy" and "show their hatred for our nation's Constitution and our historic systems of law." ?

Or is it that, as usual roscoe, you are blowing smoke out of very orifice?
