That bill does a lot more than ban private militias, I highly suggest you read it.
It would make participating in any kind of organized training illegal. How? § 2742 a) (1) states:
“(1) publically (sp) patrol, drill, or engage in techniques capable of causing bodily injury or death;
Defensive use of firearms is engaging "in techniques capable of causing bodily injury or death"
Ok, so what about training? Section 5:
(5) train to engage in any activity described in paragraphs (1) through (4).
I guarantee that no one in Raskin's office actually wrote this bill. It was handed to them by a hoplophobe organization, and Raskin slapped his name on it, and introduced it. Raskin is too stupid to incorporate this level of duplicity into the language of the bill, and his staff knows nothing about the firearms industry.
This bill also provides for civil tort against anyone conducting firearms training, which means giving Everytown for Gun Safety carte blanche to sue every firearm trainer, and firearm training school, into bankruptcy. This is your clue for deducing who actually wrote this bill. Everytown has sued Polymer80, manufacturer of 80% Glock frames, into closing down, with repeated lawsuits.
Note that "publicly" is mis spelled in the original text, I didn't put that there.
Sounds like an outright ban on self defense or even training to defend oneself, and not even in the context of a militia or other stereotypical fashion. This would fuck with your ability to even train how to throw a punch.
They won't use it that way, at first. They will go after firearms first, but yes, boxing is capable of "causing bodily injury", so even karate and ju jistsu would be illegal under this bill.

Time to learn capoeira until the feds ban dancing as well.
