I translate this as "a militia is needed to protect the security of the states and the militias should be armed". I don't see where it says Grandma has a right to carry her firearm into Sam's Club where her grandchild can pull it out and shoot herself with it.

How you translate it is not of any import...other than to yourself. The only translation of any import is that of the court and it always has affirmed...and again today...reafirmed that the 2nd Amendment applies to individuals and not just to militias. As I stated before I am not going to engage in a philisophical argument about the 2nd Amendment. The court has ended that argument and an individuals right to own guns is the law of the land...period...and no city...county...state...or federal government can disobey the law of the land. So those that have outright bans on ownership will have to change their laws or spend money in an attempt to revisit the matter in court.
