Gun Control & RKBA

If they ever legitimize the spurious line that the second amendment depends on being a member of the militia, then what is to stop them from agitating for a change to federal regulations concerning the militia? Suppose they are able to influence enough politicians to modify federal code so that there is no reference to militia anymore, or so that the militia only consists of members of the National Guard? Not all that far-fetched, really. And once they do that, they would argue that the second amendment is null and void since there is no more militia. Besides, the cutoff age for the Militia is 45. That means I am no longer a member, so if the rules change, would I then be ineligible to own my own firearms?
I may be a little paranoid, but after some of the crap (and bald-faced lies) that have been put forward recently, I am beginning to believe that the gun-control forces will stop at nothing to get their way.
