Eet, If you'll read the Constitution, it is clear (to me) that the term 'Milita' as used in several places (besides the 2nd amendment) refers to a state run (Article 1, section 8 where the states get to appoint the officers) organization…not a loose confederation of individuals. Also in amendment 3 (I believe…I'll have to check when I get home)…it states that for capital cases, an inditment is needed EXCEPT for members of the army, navy or Militia. If being in the Militia is inherent in being a citizen of state…then there's no real need for that amendment as everyone would be in the Militia. No..the Militia is the National Guard, not just anyone. Don
