so your telling me that each individual state has made a consious, if not legislative decision, to forgo any state militia sarge?
each individual state feels it isn't in any way threatened by the examples you forward of civil unrest or natural disasters NO threat exists that they would require a 'well regulated Militia' for their security....?
yet 'abled body people' are what?, supposed to jump outta the woodwork 'well regulated' as needed...?
gee, i didn't see that happen with Katrina, did you?
Trying to change the subject won't help you. IF the States wanted Militias again they would of course train them. As it is they mostly feel the Nationalized militia ( the National Guard) is sufficient. You are aware of course that what happened was the standing militias were all incorporated into the National Guard in the late 1800's?
