It really is too bad that their opinion got in the way of their ability to read.
Maybe they DID read the line which says that the right to keep and bear arms exists so as to have a well-ordered militia, or something along that line.

The question has always been what is meant by that word "militia"? Does the adjective "well-ordered" imply "state-run" instead of a bunch of guys getting together without any governmental approval on weekends to camp out, run around in the woods in fatigues, and have target practice?
