nuc uni: And just for the record -- USC 10 Section 311 states all able-bodied males 17-45 and all able-bodied females 17-45 who have completed basic military training are members of the unorganized militia.

Yawn. Advise nuclear unicorn for the umpteenth time that the unorganized militia, by defintion of the word unorganized, is not well regulated, and therefore could not possibly be the well reg'd militia described in the 2nd amendment.
The only well reg'd militias in existence today are the national & state guards.

Bonus alert for nuc uni's misinformation!: nuclear unicorn is spreading misinformation (or is it disinformation?). USC 10 section 311 does not have any requirement to complete 'basic military training':

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Stop embellishing requirements to join the unorganized MOB, nuc uni.
