Federal Judge: Assault Weapons Not Protected by 2nd Amendment

[BjornF16]

All of that has long since been rendered moot, though. In the Militia Act of 1903, the National Guard superseded the old State militias. ARNG members are not only not required to procure and provide their own weapons, they are not even allowed to use privately-purchased weapons.

His point may have something to do with a well-referenced answer to this and several other posts suggesting that the right to bear arms is esentially a figment of the imagination.

Where do you see anything remotely like that in the post you quoted?

Ummm...see the red text above just to start. While the name may have changed, and arms are supplied to the "organized militia" now, it doesn't diminish the fact the rest of us are still part of the militia.

The Militia is alive and well...
