The problem here is language and understanding.
The 2nd, as is all the amendments to the constitution which are considered to be the Bill of Rights, is written in a foriegn language. It's 18th century english. The term well regulated as used then meant well diciplined well oredered and well trained in the use of personal arms. YES we should be WELL regulated. If you aren't then please don't carry a gun.
It is a right reserved for the Militia. WE are the militia all abled bodied private citizens are the militia and original Homeland Security. No need to sign up and you don't get a membership package. There are dues at this time but when levied it may require the ultimate price be paid for the sake of the country. We do this to secure "the free state" We do not secure rights of the states is the BoR it is rights of the people. The term free state was frequently refered to at the time and meant YOUR free state of body mind and property. NOT the 13 original colonies or states.
We do this all with out infringment from an overeaching goverment and we don't ask for permission. The BoR is our voice the voice of the people telling the Gov. what our rights are exclusively and they do not change with the whims of certain people or groups. They do not change with modernization. I notice we still speak freely over internet tv radio and yet none of those medias existed at the time this document was written therefore I'm not bound to my flintlock. Our cars have become part of the residence under the 4th giving protection. Yes the modern M16 AK47 and Glock are protected just as much.
Please read the 2nd Amendment primer by Les Adams. He actually didn't believe the NRA GOA and gun owners. So he researched it wrote the book and changed his mind.
