brian: I am confused as to the differences between the national guard and the national guard of the united states. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militia_(United_States) for more details.

anyway, it would be nice if congress or a federal court would define for us the current meaning of, "a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state," as referenced in the preamble of the second amendment. logic tells me that back then it was referring to the state militias and not any federal military organization, reserve or otherwise. and it did not include any other citizens who were not enrolled in a state militia...even us unregulated citizen militiamen.
