You are if you and others are a part of a regulated militia that's beholden to the state.......I thought you had left the Nat. Guard. If you are no longer a member, then you do not belong to a militia according to the Constitution. The constitution doesn't define the term militia. If we define the term by how it was used at the time of the 2nd ammendment's ratification or by current federal law then I was a member of the militia before I joined the guard and after I left. Please show me one or two rulings where you think it has danced. To revoke a previous Sup. Ct. ruling would be a big thing for the Court and they would not dance around it. Its not a matter of revoking a previous ruling the court has never directly ruled on the issue. They have made direct comments about it during cases on unrelated issues, or they found decided the case without directly ruling on the question of individual right vs "collective right" when the case was directly a 2nd amendment case. In a sense every 2nd amendment ruling by the supreme court has danced around the issue. Also they haven't taken other cases where the issue could have been decided. Tim
