So what about the argument "since we don't use, need, or employ a militia anymore, how does the 2nd A apply to the Joe Citizen?

Again, don't misread my intentions, as I am all for the RKBA, I just always wondered about this and have never heard the appropriate answer.

Thanks for all the replies. Very interesting/informative reading.
