MODERATORS
If all citizens are part of the militia then regulation of the militia is the same thing as regulation of gun owners. These are not two different groups of people, or two different types of regulation. When I say "licensing" I'm advocating essentially what any military does before they put a weapon in a soldier's hands- training, and a record of that training, as a pre-condition to arming and deploying a soldier.
The two groups are not the same. "Militia" includes both gun owners and gun non-owners. You are attempting to impose rules only on gun owners. You cannot do that.
You can establish training requirements, drill weekends, firearms proficiency standards on the militia, but not as a condition of owning guns. You cannot impose them on gun owners alone.
