As members of the California State Militia, the right of Californians to keep and bear M4's cannot be infringed by the federal government.

By 922(o), that right IS infringed.

"By 922(o), that right IS infringed."

Yes it is. But why are you looking at 922(o)? That doesn't apply to you.

922(o)(2)(A) applies -- possession under the authority of a state. As a member of the California State Militia, you may possess a machine gun under that statute.
