...the 2nd amendment, passed by Congress in 1791,clearly states that the need for state "militia" necessitated the right for the people to bear arms.

In 1792, the "militia" was further organized into the "Uniform Militia" and then again re-organized into the the National Guard and the Reserve in 1904.

The intention of the 1791 2nd amendment is clearly to allow people to arm themsleves for the purpose of national service, and not to give people free-reign to own arms for their own personal purposes.

Any "confusion" is just gaslighting promoted by the arms industry to sell guns and bullets to the modern general public.

(Sorry to get off the intended track of the OP which I strongly agree with, but I couldn't let the 2nd amendment remark slide.)
