I've Been Accused of being Liberal. Okay I'm laying my cards on the table

Where did you read that the militia mentioned is one formed to resist the U.S. Government? Way off base. Let's look at what is actually written:

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.

Actually one can find many sources citing what I mentioned.

From The Bill of Rights Primer by A.Reed Amar, professor of law at Yale Law School:

"WE have already noted in our discussion of the 1st Amendment, the rights of the people to petition and assemble in conventions are intimately bound up with the people's right to ALTER OR ABOLISH THEIR GOVERNMENT. "Who shall dare to resist the people?" asked Edmund Pendelton.

To many antifederalists, the answer to Pendelton's question seemed both obvious and ominous. An aristocratic central government, lacking sympathy with and confidence from ordinary constituents, might dare to resist-especially if that government were propped up by a standing army. Only an armed populace could deter such a spectacle. Hence the need to BAR CONGRESS FROM DISARMING FREEMEN. Thus the 2nd amendment is closely linked to the textually adjoining 1st Amendment's guarantee of assembly and petition. The use of the authorative phrase 'the people' from the Constitution's preamble conjures up the Constitution's GRAND PRINCIPLE OF POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY AND THE POPULAR RIGHT TO ALTER OR ABOLISH THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.

History also connected the right to keep and bear arms with the idea of popular sovereignty. In Locke's influential 'Second Treatise of Government', the people's right to alter or abolish tyrranous government invariably required a popular appeal to arms. To Americans of 1789 this was not merely speculative theory. It was the lived experience of their age.

To see the 2nd Amendment crafted by the Founding Fathers as being primarily concerned with an individual's right to hunt or to protect his home is like viewing the heart of the speech and assembly clauses of the 1st Amendment as being the right of persons to meet to play Bridge or to have sex."
