What does well-regulated mean to you? Seems interesting you left that off.
Back when the second amendment was written people owned slaves and poured their piss in the street. What’s your point?
The New Mexico constitution also has a right to bear arms and it's not specified for a militia. Article 6 part 2:
“No municipality or county” the state is neither.
Like I said earlier, this doesn’t have to live forever. Just long enough (is probably the thinking)
https://constitution.org/1-Constitution/cons/wellregu.htm
I know the history and modern interpretation.
then stop gaslighting people on the internet
And as we know something that is well-regulated only refers to it being in physical working order, not following any sort of rules or order, right? Cause the interpretation that the second amendment protects the unfettered right of individual gun ownership is not very old.
Also we should amend the constitution to repeal the second amendment because it’s a moral harm on our society.

sounds like you also do not understand what a comma does
Sounds like you also have an understanding of history that’s no more than 50 years old. That’s one of the most argued over sentences in American history, down to its inception.
I know guns are super cool and stuff but try not to trip on all the dead bodies on your way to getting a fuckin clue mate
I left it off because it has 0 impact on "the right of the people".
Yes I too find life much easier when I ignore the inconvenient words
Please explain then. This is not the right of the militia to keep and bear arms, it's the right of the people. They are two distinct sentences. Please tell me how the militia has any impact on "the right of the people to keep and bear arms".
There's nothing inconvenient about those.
The second amendment is only one sentence...
The founders wanted the militias to provide the bulk of the country's defense and to not have a standing army. Anyone who owned a gun had to register it so that it could be verified to be in working order in case a militia needed to be formed. That whole idea of having the militia provide for our defense failed pretty quickly when several uncoordinated militias got their asses handed to them by Natives in the Northwest Territory. The federal government moved towards having an actual standing army and the role of militias shrunk.
They’re not two sentences lol. The second amendment is all one big, convoluted sentence my guy.
