Well how can one explain something that has never happened? Nobody has ever ignored words in the U.S. Constitution (other than progressives).Nobody has ever explained why a few words in the amendment are ignored and the rest are gospel!
As I've explained to you before - your favorite part (the "well regulated militia") is the why. It is what is known as in legalese the Prefatory Clause. The why is the reason. The reason is that firearms are "necessary to the security of a free state". But it is not the what.
The what - or the Operative Clause in legalese - is "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". The right belongs to the people - all people. Not just members of a militia.
See? So simple, only a progressive could be confused by it.
