71. None of the above
Could in any way constitute a militia. Because they are all government groups.

"National Guard
Police
Federal Law Enf.

all state entities that could readily fit the bill of a "militia""

Especially not federal law enforcement or the National Guard, no federalized force could ever hope to be our militia.

And "well regulated" does not mean what you think it means. I believe you are thinking that regulated means regulation the way the FCC regulates radio or the TSA regulates flight paths. It actually means well trained and equipped. And the militia is every male age 18-45. The sentence meant that our militia, i.e. our citizens, needed to be armed and proficient in the use of their personal arms in order to keep our state free. By definition a government organization can not be considered a militia.
