I'm not sure which part of that sentence confuses you. Is it "the"....or perhaps "shall not".
Now lets look at it in full....since most pro gun people only use the second half of the sentence.
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.
Most anti gun people say the "regulated militia" is now the military...and therefor obsolete. But i say....the military is run by a select few generals....& the commander and chief.
So who is to keep check on them to insure the rights of the PEOPLE? The people, & the only way they can stand up to a renegade army controlled by select people....is to have weapons themselves.
And just for the record, with the proper papers you can own a tank, as a historic artifact....as well as artillery (howitzers etc), troop carriers, and almost any other type of military equiptment.
You can live in your perfect little no gun world, but i'll keep sleeping next to my AK-47. So as soon as your little pussy anti-gun posse makes a law...and...decides to take it away from me....i guess you guys will come armed with sticks & tasers eh? Because certainly it would be hipocritical to seize it using the very same devices to secure the seizure?
