If a person can pass such a test, pass another showing he knows how to operate a firearm safely and a background check, he would be granted a license. He would then be required to register his weapon's serial number with the US Official Well-Regulated Militia Database, just like the US Army does in it's database with the weapons that it has. Finally, he would be required to obtain a liability policy for the weapon. Voila, a well-regulated militia.

I will agree to this on two conditions:
Once I do all of this I can own any weapon I chose, no restrictions. (excluding nuclear and biological.)
The point of a well regulated militia is to defend this country from both outsiders, and the government if the need should arise. To do this we need to be as well armed as the regulars, so I want a mill spec G36, with armour piercing rounds, body armour, and hand gernades. I also want my local militia to have access to the latest tanks and artillery if we can afford it.
2. The miltia must be independent from the government, with its own command structure. IE they can't say we want your guns give us the records.
