The PEOPLE OF EACH STATEIS THE MILITIA!
The current debate centers around the Framers’ use of the “Militia,” and “the people.” These two phrases appear to stick out as ambiguous and open to interpretation. Relevant court cases, and several Amendments to the Constitution are needed to properly define these terms and formulate the intent of the Amendment.
A. the “Militia”- The Bill of Rights was ratified over 200 years ago. In that span of time, the meaning of many words have drastically changed. What some may consider the militia today may be far removed from the original meaning. Simply assuming that the definition hasn’t changed in over two centuries is a very dangerous oversight.
As stated before, gun control advocates hammer at the idea that the Militia is an organized entity such as the National Guard. However, the fact that the National Guard wasn’t even created until over a century after the adoption of the Bill of Rights seriously comprises the idea that such a limited system is what the Framers of the Constitution had in mind.
To resolve this issue further, one must turn to the courts for advice. And fortunately, the courts have stated how the “Militia” should be interpreted, both historically, and today. In the Supreme Court decision Presser vs. Illinois (1886), for example, Mr. Justice Woods in a bold statement proclaimed that,
“It is undoubtedly true that all citizens capable of bearing arms constitute the reserved military force or reserve militia of the United states, as well as that of the states;and in view of this prerogative of the general government as well as of its general powers, the States’ cannot, even laying the constitutional provisions in question out of view, prohibit the people from keeping and bearing arms, so as to deprive the United States of their rightful resource for maintaining the public security, and disable the people from performing their duty to the General Government.” [emphasis added]
The “reserve militia” or “unorganized militia” were not defined, but the United States Code Title 10, Chapter 13, Section 311 (a) clearly states that all males between the ages of 17 and 45 who are either citizens of the United States or have declared their intent to become citizens are members of the unorganized militia.
