Meanwhile privateers sunk or captured 2200+ British ships during the Revolution - I'm sure this was all "organized" militia and every one of those cannons had a permit and taxes paid.

Who are you trying to fool?

LOL, nobody even considered naval ships to overlap with "the militia" in the first place. You're trying to sneak in some bizarre personal redefinition, like trying to claim your shoes are "vehicles" because they help you get places.

The Articles of Confederation ("Constitution 1.0")--the thing I explicitly showcased, the first thing that "united the states" for over a decade before they wrote a sequel--clearly distinguishes between ships and militia as separate categories.

The A is over 250 years old, RTFA already.
