    There are a couple of States that allow both regulated and unregulated militias. The NRA, of course, want no regulations of any kind. So there is no reason street gangs, er street associations, can't form their own militias.

    The militia named in the Second Amendment is all the able-bodied who aren't members of the uniformed services. Black men between the ages of 17 and 45, along with a lot of other people, are already part of the militia, as further defined in the Dick Act of 1903.

    Well regulated = Well trained, disciplined

    militia = the whole people

    Establishing government oversight of the people's arms was not only NOT the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it.

  • Citizens of the United States of America may form militias. The Constitution cannot see skin color.

    Militia is a whole body of able-bodied male citizens declared by law as being subject to call to military service. It's not just rednecks playing army, training in the woods just in case of a tyrannical takeover.
