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. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
