What you wrote is a convoluted opinion, not facts, which you have no evidence to support and thus is your biased opinion. Don't feel bad, this is generally the same response typical of those defending the 2nd as sacrosanct, that is "IT CAN'T BE INFRINGED"; yet it is has been and will be again as long as the NRA and people like you resist any effort to mitigate gun violence in America.
Actually what I wrote is based solely on facts.
Looking back at the Founding Fathers we see that "bear arms" is synonymous with "render military service" and "Militia duty" as you can find here:Amendment II House of Representatives Amendments to the Constitution
But then again, all those people who claim to be pro-second amendment seem to ignore what isn't convenient for them, so they can continue to be "pro-second amendment" and make it say what the hell they want it to say.
As I pointed out to another, service in the militia was limited to men between the ages of 16 and 45, (59 In some locales).
Effectively eliminating the ability to "keep" arms from males under the age of 16, males over the age of 45, and all females.
Which is why the Right was given to the People, not the Militia.
