    The Supreme Court has not only confirmed that but also that the militia would need to possess weapons which are "coomonly available" and similar to the military. And that you also have a right to possess them only for self defense, not just use in a militia. I say good luck getting a ban on semi-auto guns past all of that.

        The constitution was written over 100 years before the National Guard existed.
