The Illinois Supreme Court found the state's assault weapons ban constitutional. It was passed after the Highland Park shooting last year.

      Interesting. We have the National Guard now to fill the role of militia, which we know because it was created by the Militia Act. Pretty clear intent on that one.

      Using the definition at the time, it appears that there’s actually not a right for any random person to have a gun. If you want one, join the well-regulated militia.

      Can you share a source? I’m very surprised to hear that they specified well-regulated militia when they just meant basically everyone.
