I think you're missing the point. The idea isn't that we have these established militias all over the place, the idea is that in a time of crisis, effective militias can be raised quickly and cost efficently to bolster the ranks. You can't have an effective militia if none of the members know how to shoot, and it can't be cheap if you have to supply everyone with weapons and ammo. Therefore, average Joe Sixpack can buy, own and operate firearms to be prepared for such an emergency.
