Congress has the authority to call up the militia.We have a Second Amendment.The right of the People!Drafting the militia means, grabbing anyone, not just gun lovers; it could mean, emptying our jails to lower costs.
No, because if you are in prison, you are cannot be considered a full Citizen therefore under our original fore fathers way of thinking you would not be able to be a citizen and would not be able to own, possess or purchase a firearm.
Even today, most states do not allow convicted felons to ever own firearms ever again. It's not a Federal thing, it's a state thing.
Which only applies to the Federals. It does not apply to the States according to the SCOTUS. If you want the 2nd amendment to apply to the states you need to get it into the Congress and have it rewritten to include the states and have the President to sign it into law. The founding fathers never intended for it to apply to the states.
