American people will retain the right to carry weapons as members of a state militia

So....were it not for the Second Amendment -- state militias would be unarmed?

[Forty-Niner]

The professor intentionally misuses the word “militia” in order to confuse the issue among the LIVs.

By opening his dictionary, which any English professor should be able to do, he will discover that “militia” in 18th century lingo means the body of men eligible for military service...that is all able bodied men between say 18 to 65.....

Furthermore a simple read of the “Militia Act” passed by congress about that time echo’s the same understanding of “militia” as the “unorganized” militia.
