Kirk, I think the comment is to the point that the fed gov is not respecting the 2A anymore, and that if the hag starts packing the Court, starting with Scalia's position, that "guarantee" will be much less respected. By the time anything got heard, there'd be a slew of new papers with the color of law that would have Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, and a few others grabbing rifles, were they still among us (and that's presuming they wouldn't have done so already.)
If the gun grabbers do try to reinterpret and say that the RKBA is only for the militia, stare decisis notwithstanding, that will be the only "cover" any of us have under the law.
As I recall, though, we have Title 10, identifying all between 17 and 45(?) as militia, federally, and here in Indiana, Art. 12, as noted above. Is that correct, obviously dependent upon the phrasing of the law, whenever it gets written?
Blessings,

Mr. Freeman - obviously I know the 2A is a Federal right. I was referring to the article in the link that stated if Hillary wins and starts to dismantle the 2A as we know it (she thinks the 2A refers to the state's National Guard and not to us civilians) that individual states might get around her interpretation of the 2A & her SCOTUS judges destruction of the 2A by implementing a law that state citizens are considered "state militia". Thanks to Bill for educating me that this already exists in Indiana. I did not know that, but maybe the article still might be applicable to other states that have not yet passed the "militia" legislation. The OP's article was not written specific to Indiana.
