"Militias" don't have rights.

Then why are you arguing that the second amendment protects the right of a militia, or the right only of those in a well-regulated, militia, which ammounts to the same thing?

But if they had said the "right of the militia", then militias would have rights, or at least the one right. But the point is moot since they did not write that.

I'm not.

"or the right only of those in a well-regulated, militia, which ammounts to the same thing?"

It protects the individual right of members of a well regulated state Militia to keep and bear arms from federal infringement.

Cut and paste and stop misquoting me.
