The "General Militia" Of The USA

 The (Unorganized) "General Militia Of The United States" is defined, by Federal law, as provided below (A). (I doubt me that more recent decisions of the courts would support the maximum age cited.)

The intent of the Founders of our Republic as to the benefits of and armed citizenry [eg To suppress tyrants who include common criminals, members of dangerous mobs-and-packs (eg Members of "AntiFa" and the "action arm" of the Marxist formed and led BLM) and those politicians who suppress the rights which should/must be protected by The Bill Of Rights].

That "intent" is well documented (B & C) in support of the individual right of (Law-abiding) citizens (Age 18-years and above) to "Keep and bear arms (WITHOUT "INFRNGEMENT").

"The Supreme Court Of The United States" has, but only in-part, supported that right (D).
