Total armchair lawyer question I was pondering today. As we know, the left loves to use the words "well-regulated" in their interpretation of the Second Amendment. Well, that part is talking about the militia.

Given that 10 US Code Section 246 defines the militia as "able-bodied males at least 17 years of age" (and other various requirements/groups), I was armchair lawyer wondering, could a 17-year-old presumably go to buy a gun so as to fulfill their Constitutional duties, and, if refused for being under 18/21, sue to force a retailer to sell to them?

I know there is currently the fight about pistols versus rifles/etc selling age limits, and those are being fought, but I was just wondering about ANY firearms sale to a 17-year-old male in the first place. Something to ponder.
