Subject: Re: The true meaning of the "right to bear arms&q
It's a darn shame that the 2A was written so grammatically awkwardly:

2A - "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."

Versus either one or both of these sub-amendments:

2Aa - "The right of the people to form a state-run militia shall not be infringed."

2Ab - "The right of the people to own and carry firearms on their person at all times shall not be infringed."

Of course, we'd still have arguments about what a "firearm" is and what a "militia" is, but at least some of the ambiguity of the current 2A would have been eliminated.
