Christine, Some first thoughts. 1. The second amendment does not use the term "organized" militia. It says "well regulated". I would like to see the justification for equating the two. Perhaps I didn't read far enough. 2. Although the militia may have been used as an instrument of the state government, that is different than saying it may only exist at the behest of the state government. I doubt that the country's founders would have said so. 3. Prove the equation: militia = National Guard. 4. In the interview, we are told "virtually all able-bodied men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five were enlisted for military discipline in the militia", then "...the militia, that is, the National Guard..." By the first definition militia does not equal National Guard. More later... Skipper
