"the right of the people" pertains to every citizen.

If you look at how militia is defined in the original version U.S. Constitution as well as in the Kansas Constitution, it is to be made up of EVERY able bodied man between the age of twenty-one to forty years of age. The Kansas Constitution actually makes a provision that the State will supply each man with a "military style" rifle to carry out said duties.

I agree that militia does apply to every able-bodied man. However, I believe in the framers time that is just what it meant every "man". It's good that it included the term "the right of the people", this way it also includes women.

Kansas: The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be tolerated, and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power. Bill of Rights, § 4 (enacted 1859, art. I, § 4).

I called the NRA and asked if they were going to pursue a lawsuit in the states, such as Kansas, similar to the one that is going on right now in Ohio. They stated that they are going to see how the Ohio lawsuit is ruled before they make any decisions. It's pretty aggravating to have to wait for every step, but at least the steps are in our direction.
