The unorganized militia is all males ages 17-45 that are not in the National Guard.
So... Only men aged 17-45 can own guns?
Faulty dialectic reasoning. For one thing the 'unorganized militia' fails the 2nd amendment litmus test, which calls for a well regulated militia, and by definition an unorganized militia is not well regulated.
The unorganized militia was created circa 1903 under Teddy Roosevelt to replace the militia act of 1792 which roosevelt called obsolete and worthless, ergo the unorganized militia has absolutely nowt to do with the intentions of the 2nd amendment to the bill of rights of 1791, which was delineated 5 months after enactment by the militia act of 1792.
The unorganized militia is a JOKE. Most americans do not even realize they were in it after they turn 45. Nor do most people realize the ARE in it when they are 17 - 45. Where did you drill? what was your rate? draw any pay from the Unorg'd militia? any benefits? you cannot get into Veterans hospitals if you claim you are or were in the unorg'd militia, without actual military service or spousal etc.. Who was your commanding officer, where was your mobilization point? Did you get a retirement party, or a gift for your years of unorganized service?
