"These men" being a fairly select group of individuals. In Federalist 46, Madison envisioned "... a militia amounting to near half a million of citizens with arms in their hands ...". In 1788, that represented only 15-20% of the population.
I’ve missed you, RP. You’re a funny guy. Usually, I’m quoting Madison, and you’re quoting some New Deal era Supreme Court decision. Now I guess turnabout is fair play. As noted in my post, the Supreme Court said this about the makeup of the militia:
“These show plainly enough that the Militia comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense.”
