I cannot post this enough…

10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes

(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.

Highly recommend everyone reads a period piece entitled “Tracts, Concerning the Ancient and only True Legal Means of National Defence, by a Free Militia” by Granville Sharp. It is a free download. Truly enlightening about what the original intent and purpose of arming the populace. You can make the argument that this is no longer a necessity, but you cannot make the argument that the purpose and intent is not clear.
