Default what makes a militia and is every one in one.

One of the big second amend arguments I see is the one saying the 2nd amend is only given to members of a well regulated militia. So who is in one, and what makes a militia a militia? is it a bunch of guys getting togther and training.





this is what I found what do you think.



The first legislation on the subject was The Militia Act of 1792 which provided, in part:
That each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years (except as is herein after excepted) shall severally and respectively be enrolled in the militia, ... every citizen, so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter, provide himself with a good musket or firelock....
