How I see it (FWIW)
States maintain a Militia
States appoint the Officers of the Militia
Congress prescribes a training discipline by which the States are to train the Militia
Congress provides for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia
Congress shall govern such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States - that part which is not employed in the service of the United States is not governed by Congress but by the State
Congress shall call forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions
When called into the actual Service of the United States the President shall be Commander in Chief of the Militia of the several States
Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Conclusion:
The people keep and bear Arms.
The people are to be trained by the State according to the discipline prescribed by Congress
The people are to be armed by Congress
The Militia may be called upon for service by their Governor
The Militia may be called upon for service by Congress.
States are to train the Militia according to the discipline presecribed by Congress.
Congress shall arm the Militia - the people.
BTW whatever happened to State Armories? I am not speaking of National Guard posts, but State Armories. Congress shall arm the Militia... which houses the arms in the State Armory. Where have those arms gone? Heavy arms. Where are they? The militia has not been provided for. The States do not train the militia... the whole of the people. States can not repel Invasions, hello Arizona!
The money words in 2A are: “the right of the people to keep...”
It doesn’t say ‘store’ in an armory. It doesn’t say separate from you or put any limit on the time you are allowed to keep these arms. It doesn’t say at what age you can have arms or at what age you must give them up. It doesn’t distinguish between male and female, child or adult. It doesn’t set any limit per household or any limit on how many household members may KEEP arms, whatever arms they see fit, or numbers thereof. It does not distinquish between a head of a household separate from the rest of the household. It doesn’t even say household. It says PEOPLE...so it applies equally to ALL people, not necessarily in a household. It does not say A state or THE state has the right to take away or otherwise confiscate arms from any citizen of the several states and lock them away for any reason.
It says to KEEP. Period.
