Militia at the time it was written means every able bodied white male. And rather than a privilege, like people like to assume now, it was a mandate or a responsibility from the federal government, that all able bodied white males were obligated to perform. The people are responsible for keeping the government in check and in so doing the people free from the tyranny of that government. Too many people are abdicating thier responsibility...

I agree with everything you said.
But, I wouldn't be so quick to blame other Voaters. If anything, WE are the FIRST ones to take our responsibilities seriously, and I expect that would be the case, if the urban vs rural wars start. It's right to be extremely angry at the average person, but Voaters, despite the number of fags, would still be our first movers.
