And none of that is relevant to the point that your quote from the Supreme Court doesn't even remotely support the interpretation you claimed.

I was responding to the nonsensical and incorrect argument about the makeup of the court that decided Heller.

A militia is made up of ordinary citizens. It’s armaments are those of its members. It’s not a separate body. For it to be in working order, the populace are the ones that need to be armed and their right to bear those arms must not be infringed.

Note that the militia angle is merely an additional reasoning for why those rights exist. It’s an example, not a precondition.
