So to you - it only matters if they are paid?
Well, once again, lets evaluate what militia means
1. a body of citizens enrolled for military service, and called out periodically for drill but serving full time only in emergencies.
2. a body of citizen soldiers as distinguished from professional soldiers.
3. all able-bodied males considered by law eligible for military service.
4. a body of citizens organized in a paramilitary group and typically regarding themselves as defenders of individual rights against the presumed interference of the federal government.

To become a part of a militia is to set yourself apart from someone who is not a part of that militia
so
You are no longer just an individual
you are part of something
you are part of the militia
to be in the militia, as the founding fathers clearly wrote it, is to have the right to bare arms.
To not be in the militia and bare arms, is a PRIVILEGE and this is proven by the fact that a felon is not allowed to own a firearm.
Pretty simple really
rights cannot be stripped
you cannot be a felon and be in any recognized civilian militia
therefore, you cannot be a felon and own a firearm....
we really need to continue repeating ourselves? Or are you going to take a second to read what i type, and consider the possibility that you might just be wrong
