"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Are militias still relevant, nowadays, or are they all operator wannabes, CODfags or trigger happy retards?
Are there militias that focus on training and helping the community instead of just open carrying at public events provocatively?
Could the bunch of asshats that /k/ is even be well-regulated?

Well, there's the organized militia (Federal Militia, aka National Guard, and State Militia, aka State Self Defense Force) and the unorganized militia which is any able bodied civillian ages 17-45. Check constitution.org for more information on it, but desu, Federal Militia isn't necessary, since its just an extension of US Army but underequipped and made for protection for the Federal Government. State Militias are the true definition of a Militia and should replace the National Guard in its role of taking care of the State in cases of natural disasters, invasions, etc

The milita in your quote there basically means our current military. So yes, I'd say it's probably better we have one.

Why the need for the people to bear arms then?
David Friedman has an interesting chapter about this in the latest edition of The Machinery of Freedom. A bit handwavy, as he's the first to admit, but well worth a read (as is the book as a whole.).
Also, nice pic for ants, faggot.
A militia is a group of individuals using their own weapons and ammo to secure a free state. A militia can consist of individuals conscripted by a state to form a state militia or can be an entirely private organization. Also note that the US Constitution mentions a "Militia of the Several States", this would be an entirely separate entity from the military.

We are the unorganized militia, anon... That's if you're a citizen

The government will enevitably have a military to defend itself, so the people should have the right to bear arms to defend themselves from a tyrannical government that tries to use it against the people. It's pretty clear if you read the second ammendment. If you look at who the founding fathers were, their intentions are abundantly clear.

I'm pretty sure every able-bodied man (and in modern times, woman) who is citizen of these here United States is considered part of the militia by default. The militia being the ranks of citizens upon whom the responsibility of defending the freedom guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights falls.

Exactly, so the "militia" is the people, not the military, as >>29383372 said.
