The Militia Law, if you buy the bogus "militia" argument advanced by the
anti-gun side, means that:
1) *all* able-bodied male citizens and citizen applicants between 17 and
    45 have the right to own guns.
2) *all* able-bodied veterans of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or
    Air Force younger than 64 have the right to own guns.
3) males who are not able-bodied do *NOT* have the right to own guns.
4) *all* female citizens of any age in the National Guard have the right
    to own guns.
5) other females, including:
    . females in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Air Force
    . female citizen applicants in the National Guard
    . females who are not in or have never had any military service
   do *NOT* have the right to own guns.

So, if you agree with the liberals, it's time to confiscate all the guns
owned by women, middle-aged non-veterans, and old men.  This is exactly
what Kennedy, Feinstein, Schumer, Boxer, etc. et nauseum want to do.

The correct way of looking at the Militia Law is that rather than listing
who can own guns, it lists who can be drafted; and that the right to own
guns is one held by all citizens and permanent resident aliens.  This is
also what the 1968 Gun Control Law, which liberals wrote, says.
