Original Note:
DC v. Heller mentions that the 2nd Amendment is made of two parts: a prefatory clause and an operative clause. The first announces a purpose and is not meant to constrain the second. "A well regulated militia...." therefore doesn't define who can bear arms or not. https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/07-290
