“Militias, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves and include all men capable of bearing arms. […] To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.” – Richard Henry Lee

This then is what is meant by ‘militia’ in our Second Amendment, not the National Guard. Nor does it mean the Reserves. Those who pretend otherwise are ill-founded.
