i am uncomfortable with the use of the word "militia". I think the correct language should be "legal militia" (perhaps redundant considering the laws involved) as defined by the Dick Act of 1903 and all state laws which recognize organized groups outside of the Dick Act. There are still states which have artifacts of militias which date back to the Revolution. Groups such as the Proud Boys are not and have never been recognized as legal entities under state laws.

Regarding those few states which continue to recognize militias outside the Dick Act, it is those which I believe are supported by the 2nd Amendment precisely. Thus should those states not provide armaments for these legal groups, then the 2nd Amendment would provide the vehicle for individuals to procure armaments without infringement by government.
