I think the whole debate over the definition of "militia" is playing into the hands of the totalitarian leftists. The "milita" phrase is clearly an explanitory phrase meant to indicate the importance of the main restriction of the amendment. It isn't a phrase written to be a modifier.

The purpose of the "militia" clause is to make explicit that the right to keep and bear arms is not about "hunting or sporting purposes".

We are saying the same thing. I am doing it by explaining the plain english structure to the clause rather than just maintaining the interpretation you state plainly. Those that can understand the plain sense, already do. Those that can't or won't must be led to do so by clear reasoning and understanding.
