#1 Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution -

The Congress shall have Power...

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

Two militia acts were passed in 1792, the first year Congress met under the new Constitution. The first said who was in the militia and the second how the militia was to arm itself. Today the militia is defined under Title X USC.

A Venn diagram of those who composed the militia and those who exercised the vote was pretty much a total overlap. In 1861 the militia act was amended to include male citizens of African descent followed by the franchise of the 15th Amendment. That changed with the 19th Amendment which while extending the vote to women, failed to include the militia obligation of citizenship that males had been tied to since the start of the republic, aka "skin in the game".

#2 ...The point here is to give the liberals something to hit the GOP over the head with and help get rid of the draft as well. 'Equality' don't enter into it.

#3 /\ Bingo! Will make the draft absolutely unenforceable and meaningless, thus ending it.

#4 No militia, then no need for the 2d Amendment (for a well regulated militia) will be next. Got to get into the opponents mind to understand their next move.

#5 You know, once upon a time you could expect a decent low average from conscripts. Look around today and ask yourself how many people you see at random you'd share a foxhole with.
