Neither are militias, depending on what definition you want to look at.

Militia (from dictionary.com)
1.      a body of citizens enrolled for military service, and called out
periodically for drill but serving full time only in emergencies.
2.      a body of citizen soldiers as distinguished from professional soldiers.
3.      all able-bodied males considered by law eligible for military service.
4.      a body of citizens organized in a paramilitary group and typically
regarding themselves as defenders of individual rights against the presumed
interference of the federal government.

#3 is my favorite. #2 is probably closest to the founder's intentions;
keeping up the minuteman style militias that won us the war. 

This is a pointless argument anyway. Concentrating on the militia statement
is liberal propaganda designed to make people forget the rest of the
amendment

"the right of /the people/ to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed"
