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.
Notice something that one would think a linguistic professor, who could discuss issues objectively, would make note of....the comma.
While I've discussed this issue in far greater detail in previous posts, with Supreme court precedent to support my position, a far simpler rendering of the very clear 2nd amendment phasing demonstrates, with the comma, that while the founders knew that the security of the country would require the need for a well armed and regulated militia, regulated by the Government, that that should, and would not interfere with the citizenry to also be armed......in the event that a Government were to again become as oppressive as the English Government was becoming at that time
This is consistent with the Constitution in general, and the Bill of Rights specifically.....CLEAR parameters and LIMITS as to what the Federal Government would be allowed to perform. Nothing about slaves, slave patrols, or muskets
