I'd say: No! Unless you want to modify your statement by calling it a "Select Militia" as opposed to an "unorganized militia" and even then, police forces are police forces. They have arrest powers, something I don't believe the militia ever had, though I admit to not being certain.

However, I believe that the case can be made that any AR or AK platform firearm (and many other semi-auto models) are clearly the type of arms the Framers intended to be protected under the 2nd Amendent ... not just my Remington 700 or Kar98k
