[QUOTE="WTJ, post: 1726551, member: 6661"] I suspect you refer to the terms "organized" and "unorganized" when referring to the collective right. As I read it, these terms were quantified under the 1903 act asOrganized State Militia referring to the National Guard and Unorganized referring to all able-bodied males between the ages of 18-45, and not members of the Organized Militia, or NG, or in other words, those eligible for conscription. Based on what I have read, there was originally a draft of the Second Amendment that prohibited the Federal system from establishment of a standing military, and only provided for a standing naval force. Unfortunately, I no longer recall the proper reference for this. I did a considerable research on this years ago and do not recall everything. I will say that this is a typical definition as applied by the Statists, who probably have ignored the history and the language of the law. It is clear to me that, after ejecting the forces of the Crown, the anti-federalists were against a standing army in the US. This proved prescient later, when the federalists employed militia from four states,led by Washington, to enforce Hamilton's whiskey tax. Washington became an advocate of a stronger central gov after Shay's Rebellion, two years prior to the Whiskey Rebellion. The new gov was quick to employ the tactics of the Crown when they wanted money. I suspect there lies a lesson. [/QUOTE]
