If your question is, "Why the militia was made up of volunteers", there are several reasons. After the war there was much pressure for the standing army to be downsized as it was expensive and the new country was very sensitive to having any sort of occupation military. The founders wanted to ensure that that there existed some sort of mechanism in order to call up troops in case of need. Therefore, " a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Many, in my opinion, mistakenly interpret this to mean only the militia should have arms. It clearly states," right of the people...", and we are well aware of how "people" is defined by our founding fathers. This is a right that cannot be taken away by government.
