@Kvaseren "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 well regulated militia. Take into consideration our country was declared independent from an oppressive empire and then proceeded to fight the said empire with guns the empire tried stripping from the citizens. Granted we had a lot of help from the french, but regardless. Our history shows that the amendment is clearly meant to ensure such oppressive actions are not recreated by our government.
