BTW, the Second Amendment states right up front why people should have

their use? Do you report for training as required?

Lat time I checked the 'militia' (a.k.a. National Guard) provides
weapons to the volunteers and must be returned after the drill.

The "militia" is *not* the National Guard.

According to them it is.

Why would you use the idiot gun grabber's definition for anything?

There are lots of militia groups if
that's what you mean.

No, this is what I meant:
