Ok, so you're trying to use a law that was passed almost 200 years *after* the 2nd was written to re-define what they meant?   
  
"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few public officials." -George Mason
  
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country." - James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789  
  
“Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American.... [T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." (Tench Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.)

I 100% agree with you my dude. I'm just stating that even today "the militia" isn't confined to the National Guard or some other governmental group like some opponents to the 2A would like to think.
