Would you say that the shooter was supplementing the regular army in an emergency?
He did not legally possess the weapons so no, and Militias are by definition self equipped. Raising an army of unarmed men is pretty much useless exercise.

Besides "shall not infringe on the right of the people" is far more unambiguous than Separation of Church and state which relies on an after the fact explanation by only some of it's authors.
