The militia is every able-bodied person, both as a matter of history and as literally defined in US law for centuries. Furthermore, this militia is expressly recognized as "unorganized" in law i.e. separate from organized militias created by the government.

In the US, the militia is explicitly independent of the government. Even if one were to accept your narrow reading, which no court has, I don't see how it would materially change anything given that any random group of blokes without any government involvement is a militia as a matter of law.



It is constitutionally ok to require that certain guns can only be kept at well-regulated gun clubs.

Those clubs, or militias, could own tanks, drones, explosives.

Ie, all those things that aren’t allowed today in the hands of private owners.


> tanks, drones, explosives.

These are all allowed today in the hands of private owners.

What are you even talking about?
