plus the vital role of the State militias vs standing armies, I think it would depend on how you treated those subjects.

If you include A1/S8/15 & 16, and maintain the reduced role of the federal military, then you need to secure the militias right to arms. I cant imagine there would be any less trust that a new govt would not to render the militias useless....tyrants suck.

Count on the federal armies & law enforcement to protect our liberties as guaranteed in the Constitution - and your need of militias diminishes.

Redefine the militias, and their roles, or secure their ability to be effective...they have VERY important roles to play..

Just be a bit clearer in your dictating so there is no debate over purpose and security.
