TG: Al gave a very good response to your original question.
You have to remember that the speaker in your link is a rabidly anti-gun, lead attorney for the NAACP. He may not be an attorney now but he was and might hold an administrative position currently? But he has a LONG association with the NAACP. (A group that has always been rabidly anti-gun, for reasons that simply baffle me.)
His views are slanted heavily towards the opinions of the mayors of DC, New Orleans, Chicago and New York City and all the liberal anti-gun States.
ANYTHING that man says has to be taken with a grain of salt. Usually, upon further research you will find anything that attorney states on 2nd Amendment issues (and quite often on other issues IMHO) is ridiculous and heavily slanted towards the collective right theory and extreme liberalism. It is well known that the NAACP wants to abolish the 2nd Amendment and will give ridiculous theories like your link provides.
The unregulated militias are the bulwark against tyranny. Any elementary review of the history of the 2nd Amendment will prove this out. (Al already proved that when citing Scalia's explanation. And Scalia's explanation is clearly correct as evidenced by many scholars of the 2nd Amendment.)
Amongst 2nd Amendment fanatics like myself, the speaker in your link is a well known anti-gunner who will raise any silly argument to thwart the individual rights theory.
His diatribe in your link being a prime example IMHO. I don't say this very often but I have seen that man speak in your link many times and honestly feel he is an idiot. I mean that, I'm not trying to be mean. I honestly feel he is dumb. (He's the type of person who will say "not necessarily" when you ask him a simple question like "is the sky blue"? You know the type. He's that type IMHO.)
I'm VERY surprised that you fell for that speaker's garbage. VERY surprised.
