    The militia act as mentioned by somebody else is a modern redefining and still includes the definition of basically every man. To be clear, the well regulated militia is merely a reason for the people (everyone) to keep and bear arms. Not the qualifier of who should be allowed.

    Unorganized militia – comprising the reserve militia: every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age, National Guard, or Naval Militia.
