10 USC § 311 - Militia: composition and classes
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
You keep posting this and highlight the part about the unorganized militia. Hate to tell you but the 2nd doesn't say anything about an unorganized militia. It does say something about a well regulated militia though.
"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."
But then again, you might have different opinions about things that are well regulated and things that are unorganized. Hint: well regulated is actually the opposite of unorganized.
