“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.”
It doesn’t read,
“Bearing arms, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to form well regulated militias, shall not be infringed.”
The whole point is that you might, if things get ugly, need to form a militia. So, to make sure you are able to do that, your right, your personal right, to bear arms, not to have a gun or to hunt, to bear arms, will not be fucked with.
A well regulated militia being important, the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Pretty simple. If not, it would read “the right of militias to bear arms,” or, “the right of the people, once constituted in militias, to bear arms.”
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
