I have read it. Simply invoking the term Militia means it is about the security of a free State, not natural rights.you should reread it...Our Second Amendment does not claim the unorganized militia necessary, in any way.Well regulated militia of the People may not be Infringed when keeping and bearing Arms for their State or the Union; unlike the unorganized militia which is specifically not well regulated and subject to the traditional police power of a State.the people is collective and plural. Not Individual. There are no individual rights in the usage of the term People in our Second Amendment. It is a fallacy of composition, to believe there are any individual rights in our Second Article of Amendment.
Militia = able bodied men between the ages of 16-45
the People = everyone
Currently, men, women, in all fifty states are allowed to keep and bear arms.
What part of that do you not understand?
now you're changing the Amendment to what you want it to say?
you lose.
"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."
The People are the Militia, in that context.
