Militia were locals who trained together and were supposed to be first responders in case of attacks, insurrections or rebellions. They trained using the King's Regulations drills, hence the "well regulated" bit. Most of them has their own rifles, a prime dinner-getter back then, but some had to borrow one from the state government.
Well, it does state "organized in a paramilitary". Not the same as 200+ years ago, but it's close to keep the word count low for the inter web.
AND Oooooooo..................................... The state government could give out guns today too. That would be utterly spectacular to sit back and watch.... all-be-it from a distance for the smart ones. The idiot population would drop to near nothing over the course of about a week. Those left would far outnumber the idiots that wouldn't dare step out of line. That could be social justice at a governmental level. Short term-low-loss, HUGE long term gain, and wonderful social conditioning at a socially freedom based level.
Can you imagine a social structure devoid of 99.99% of social tax leaches??? That would be one way to solve poverty. Likely not a popular method, but a method non-the-less. Mad Max on the streets of L.A. Box them in an sell drone footage on HBO.
Dreamy.....
