"There is nothing in the Act that only protects the Second Amendment rights of that subset that was “required” to enroll."

True. The Act says white, male citizens, 18-45 years of age.

The second amendment protects "the people" -- adult, white, male citizens.

My point is that this is more than a coincidence. My point is that the U.S. Supreme Court could conclude that the second amendment only protects those in a Militia.

Is that your hope or is that your fear?

BS. See paragraph 3 of my Post #96. The idea that "the people" was ever intended to be so narrowly construed is nonsense.
