That's truly wonderful, but that doesn't change the FACT that, when the Constitution was written, “well regulated” meant “well provisioned.”

The Constitution really says, "The presence of a well-stocked militia being necessary to guarantee a free and prosperous people, the right of the people to keep and carry weapons shall not be infringed."

As long as it's a law abiding citizen, he can have chain-guns, rocket-propelled grenades, heat-seeking missiles, suitcase nukes, Abrahms Tanks, whatever he wants to own, maintain and use to stay safe and free.

Period. That's what the Constitution says.

The Constitution doesn't say anything about the right to bear arms being limited to "law abiding citizens". It says "the people". If you're going to talk about what the Constitution "really" means, try not to make stuff up along the way.
