The author needs a refresher course in history; the Uniform Militia Act of 1793 defined the militia to be composed of two groups:
1. The organized militia. That is, those actually mustered to service, to drill or train.
2. The unorganized militia. Those are essentially those NOT in the first group. In other words, law abiding American citizens.
So, yea, WE are the militia.
You.
Me.
And our neighbors.

Sez you.
Personally, I trust Scalia, who conducted in-depth, exhaustive research into the historical Second Amendment and proved exactly the opposite. |

TO REMEMBER |
| You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible. — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince." |
