state militias

The 2nd doesn't say "state militias". It says "militia", and that from a federal perspective, including the President's ability to "call out" and Congress' ability to "train and equip" it.

According to paulsen if the words state and militia are in the same paragraph and he needs them for his position then they are together.
There is simply no way to argue with someone like that.

Yeeeeeesss. And your point?

If the second amendment isn't referring to state militias, that to what militias is it referring?
