Scalia said militia membership is unnecessary to enjoy the right to keep and bear arms. PubliusF27 claims that Crips have the right to keep and bear arms because they’re a militia.

I never made such a silly claim, and that’s why you can’t point to a post where I did.

No one has the RKBA because they are a member of a militia. That was not what the right was about, and reading the Federalist will help explain that. Having arms in the hands of the general population (citizenry) was seen as a counter to the possibility that the Militia, (the Army), be it State or Federal, might get out of hand and take over.
