Nice try. The Taliban was a despised minority in their own country who imposed their theocratic Sharia rule through stark terror and Al Quead money and muscle.

How that is a "militia" I utterly fail to see, unless you see anyone carrying a gun without a uniform as "militia."

Militias are defined differently within the different states. In some they are as self-defined as the Taliban. That was the term they chose not me.

In Illinois every able-bodied adult is defined constitutionally as a member of the militia. This is in the
context of the RTKAB arms in the Illinois constitution. Thus, there is no doubt that the individual has the right to keep and bear and that bogus argument used wrt to the U.S. Constitution. Of that hasn't stopped Illinois from having some of the most infringing gun control laws in the nation.

How do you define militia or your state? Is there a federal definition too?
