I think this quote is vital to your question...
“I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” - George Mason (Co-author of the Second Amendment)
A “malitia” is NOT a standing army of the government. It is an armed society able to be assembled at will in defense of freedom and liberty.

As well as Jusitce, lest we forget our brothers and sisters in arms protecting themselves, their property, and their neighbors and neighbor’s property from the perps and looters in post natural disaster states.
