Here is what it does NOT say.
"A well regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, should not be infringed."
"If a well regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the militias to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed, unless a well regulated milita provides security"
"The people only have a right to keep and bear arms if a well regulated milita is unavailable to secure a free state."
"The only people who have an uninfringable right to keep and bear arms are members of well regulated militas"
"Congress shall make no law respecting the right of the people to keep and bear arms."
