Madison and Hamilton were on the same side of the argument, though.
No they weren't. And it really goes to show your lack of understanding of the 2nd Amendment and why it was so important for the individual right to keep and bear arms was put in there. Hamilton's own State of New York said they wouldn't ratify the Constitution and the Bill of Rights if the Second Amendment wasn't in there.
the States control the Militias.
No there aren't state Militias anymore. And in the 18th Century the state didn't control the militias either. The local governments actually controlled them. The militia was not employed as a fighting force in major operations outside the local jurisdiction. They didn't even do the majority of the fighting in the Revolutionary war...that was handled by the Von Steuben trained Continental Army.
That's why the 2nd Amendment makes sure to mention that we need the Militia.
Militia in the 18th century was average citizens...free white men of just about any age. They brought whatever weapon they owned with them if called upon by the local government officials to fight.
That's why the Constitution says "To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress"
Madison and Hamilton agree that the Militia is good as an insurance policy against a tyrannical government. They also agree that the States should control them.
It's written in the Constitution.
I'm not sure if you're purposely mixing different portions of the Constitution to try and muddle the conversation or you're really that obtuse.
They also said that "
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
You want to keep focusing on just the first part...before the comma...but there are very important words after the punctuation that enshrine the individual right of firearms ownership to "the people" and make it very clear that right shall NOT be infringed.
That is written in the Constitution too.
