That's OK. We weren't talking about militiamen.
Had we been talking about militiamen, they would have the right to have M-16s (and not just "semi-auto only" variants), 40mm grenade launchers, grenades (both 40mm and hand-thrown), and 84mm bazookas.
However, we were just talking about the right to have guns for self defense that the Constitution protects for everyone even if they are not in the militia.
