You can't cite any of the framers of the U.S. Constitution or 
the Bill of Rights who say otherwise, can you Jumble Jim?

POINT PROVEN!

It must be made a sacred maxim, that the militia obey the
executive power, which represents the whole people in the
execution of laws.

To suppose arms in the hands of the citizens, to be used at
individual discretion, except in private self defense, or
by partial orders of towns, counties, or districts of a
state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws
prostrate, so that liberty can be enjoyed by no man — is a
dissolution of the government.

The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created,
directed, and commanded by the laws, and ever for the
support of the laws.

John Adams, A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of
the United States of America, p. 474-5 (1787-88)
