Fine argument. Please also remember that militia in the context of the 2A references what is now the national guard.
No, it really doesn't. Under Federal Law 10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes:
If you're an able-bodied male between the ages of 17 and 45, a citizen or have declared an intention to become a citizen of the US, you're part of the militia.
Lol, I love how people like you just say things and assume they are true.
They don't assume anything, they've been told how to interpret it so that's what they do.
The National Guard is a component of the United States Army. A militia is a civilian force and would never be deployed to fight in other countries outside of wartime.

The militia was renamed to the national guard in 1903.
Part of the militia is the National Guard. The rest is us able-bodied males aged 17-45.
