Well, here it is in a rainbow of colors. The most important amendment to the Constitution. The one right that guarantees all others. Will you fight for it. As a few wise men have pointed out, the time is not now but, it is near. Are you prepared to do what you must to protect Liberty?

(a) The following persons are exempt from militia duty:
(1) The Vice President.
(2) The judicial and executive officers of the United States, the several States and Territories, and Puerto Rico.
(3) Members of the armed forces, except members who are not on active duty.

Pretty clear. Those persons above specifically exempt...for the rest...either you are a member of the militia...or you ain't an American.

"If I find you here Tonight..... THEY will find you here in the Morning"
The main focus should always be, "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." The preamble part only describes "Why?".

Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.
