If the right to bear arms is dependant on the need for a "well regulated militia is regulation of guns expressly necessary?"

Since all 50 states have illegalized private militias and the national guard stands in for state militias. Is the whole thing a moot point? Likewise in absence of a state militia a well regulated right to bear arms is especially justified. Can we do the right thing already?

It is because it says the right of the people shall not be infringed not the right of the militia shall not be infringed.

@Subsumedpat Militias are illegal which is what the sentence means, though. It’s moot. The people are the militia.

@Fukfacewillie Yes and what peoe think of as a militia is not the same as back then.
