18% of the country's population were slaves who had no right to keep and bear arms, and were legally considered property, not people.
40% of the population were white females, not required to serve in the militia.

However, with the original militia system having been superseded by the National Guard, there is no longer a need for individuals to have militia weapons. Another....CONUNDRUM!
