Hilarious
/—-/ You did cherry pick, gun grabber.
The DOJ is run by the Marxist Biden Administration and it is important to them that they must first disarm the law-abiding citizens so that when they do away with our Bill of Rights and the Constitution, the citizens can only march around and protest, not confront them with an armed rebellion.According to the US Department of Justice website "The Civil Rights Division protects the civil and constitutional rights of all people in this country, enforcing the Constitution and federal laws of the United States in pursuit of our founding ideals – fundamental fairness, equal justice, and equal opportunity for all.".
So why doesn't the division litigate against states and other units of government in the defense of the 2nd amendment?

Their method is to take the rights, especially the Second Amendment, incrementally, like they did in Socialist Nazi Germany.

No, the militia was not drafted. The very definition of the draft is in its lottery-based selection system. There was no lottery; participation was a requirement not of just citizens but for every male of age.
And I fully agree that private groups or clubs are not the militia of the Constitution or of the Founders. The militia is a state organization of which the Governor is commander-in-chief. But gun owners are certainly allowed to associate with other gun owners, to meet in the woods and develop shooting or other skills.
You really don't know the history of the laws regarding militias and arms in the founding era and before. Franklin County didn't have a militia; they had companies and battalions within the State militia. It wasn't absorbed and it wasn't drafted. Here's what the law says from the 1777 militia laws (bold emphasis mine, other emphasis in the original). Earlier laws back as far as 1619 were very similar (but they spoke funny back then).

If you're going to persist in your arguments about things like a county militia getting drafted or absorbed, you're going to have to prove it with the laws, or other documents from the Founding era or before.

No, actually ever word is not important. The prefatory clause is a preamble. It means nothing in interpreting a statute. Read pages 107-110 and 265-269.
Aaahh....insults. The last defense of someone losing an argument.

Florida Militia Muster Rolls, 1826-1900

When Florida became a United States territory in 1821, its inhabitants became subject to federal laws requiring all able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 45 to enroll in their local militia. Militia units, for the most part, were managed strictly by the state or territory, only coming under federal control if pressed into national service. Florida’s territorial legislative council passed its first law organizing its militia in 1822. The law allowed for independent volunteer companies, but most of the structure was dedicated to maintaining an “enrolled” militia—one that able-bodied white men of the appropriate age theoretically belonged to at all times.
The first volunteer militia company in territorial Florida was the Florida Rangers, established in St. Augustine on August 1, 1826. At least five more volunteer units appeared around the territory that year and received the governor’s recognition.
Those in support of the Second Amendment should ask why the military hasn't stepped in to protect our Bill of Rights. In front of cameras, General Milley had said the following: "The military doesn't support any one person or any one group. We defend the "Constitution." By doing nothing against the states blatantly going against the Second Amendment in our Bill of Rights, it shows he lied.According to the US Department of Justice website "The Civil Rights Division protects the civil and constitutional rights of all people in this country, enforcing the Constitution and federal laws of the United States in pursuit of our founding ideals – fundamental fairness, equal justice, and equal opportunity for all.".

Milley is a traitor. He defied the Constitution, openly and on more than one occasion, publicly to the press stating that he would not follow the orders of the President and then, also openly and to the press, said that he had called Chinese military leaders and assured them that if the United States were going to attack China, that he would call first and warn their military leaders.
He is the worst military traitor we've had since Benedict Arnold.

I'm going to suggest this link for you:
The Park Service article, you failed to understand, is an article, not a law. But even so, try to read the article again after completing the udemy course I linked for you on reading comprehension. What the Park Service article actually said, right there in the words you quoted, is that the militia served as a resource for drafting into the regular army. That doesn't prove the militia was staffed by draftees, it says that, once in the militia, they might be drafted for longer service in the regular army.
That's pretty bizarre for you to think you know what I agree with and don't agree with. You certainly can never provide any post I have made here or anywhere in the world to backup your claim that I don't think that private club militias are the same as the militias of the States.
Actually, yes, shit. It was your example. You are the one that said Franklin County's militia was drafted into and merged into the State militia.

No you didn't. You misquoted a couple Internet articles about the militia. You haven't quoted a single statute.

Well, more articles and no laws. And these were post 1791 and also for a new state. The assembly of a militia from existing militias in a land not a state, as they become a state, could go in a slightly different order but the result is the same. They didn't merge into the State militia. The local militias formed, even if crediting the articles as being accurate, were formed in direct response, according to the articles, of the laws requiring state militias and every county to have components in the state militias.
The thing that amazes me about people in these forums is that even when proven absolutely wrong, blowhards like you will never simply admit they were wrong, or even just drop it and move on to the next thread. Blowhards like you always continue to make shit up, lie about what they said and about what their references say.
There are options here. You could prove you're a man and say, "whoops. I was wrong. Learned something today." Or you could, like a coward, just shut up and move on to the next thread. But, instead, you choose not to be a man, and not even to be a coward. Instead, you choose to be an idiot. Well, don't feel too badly; you're certainly not the first to go through this with me proving them absolutely wrong on this or other sites. You won't be the last. The world has far too many idiots.
/——/ The military is tightly controlled by Congress and POTUS. That is why the COC is a civilian. No military leader has the authority to act on his or her own. The military protects us from foreign invaders and to defend our interests outside our border.
It was set up this way because King George used the red coats to counter British citizens at his will.
