The second amendment specifically says, "A well regulated Militia"

"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves?"

From the Militia Act, it's pretty much everyone. It also stipulates that the unorganized militia, shall never be debarred the use of arms.

Of course, you've been told all this before as well. But still, you refuse to listen. Instead, you come back with more liberal court rulings and Brady logic. Pathetic.

"From the Militia Act, it's pretty much everyone."

"Pretty much everyone" doesn't sound much like an unalienable right, now does it? Your Militia Act leaves out a few.

From the Militia Act of 1792, the state's Militia consisted of able-bodied white male citizens of the respective States, 18 to 45 years old. They are all to be enrolled in the Militia. When notified to be called up, they have six months to come up with a musket and other goodies.

"It also stipulates that the unorganized militia, shall never be debarred the use of arms."

I read it twice and couldn't find this. Could you point it out?
