This may be of some assistance to those who don't understand the context of the 2nd Amendment.

The reason there is a 2nd Amendment is that the people rejected the Constitution until the Founders promised to add clauses restricting government powers of legislation.

The Founders fulfilled their promise with these 2nd Amendment words.

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.

I discovered a better understanding of the context by reading the 2nd Amendment with these words.

A well-regulated Interent being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Modems shall not be infringed.

the amendment subsequently recognizes the individual right to keep and bear private arms, because the militia is made possible by private arms rather than the other way around.

Oh, I like this part!
