Militia for what? In terms of the people who wrote the Constitution so that they would have enough arms to fight off the British as well as Native Americans and for whatever they might encounter in the very raw areas of much of the Colonial US.
I do feel that access to automatic and semi-automatic weapons is kind of a hard sale to make given that the Constitution was written when they were fighting with ax, musket, sword, tomahawk, bow-and-arrow, and cannon.
