Original Note:
DC v. Heller determined that the prefatory clause does not limit the operative clause. This means that the people have the right to bear arms, and shall not be infringed, for the purpose of maintaining a well-regulated (ie, well-armed and trained) militia. https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/amendment-2/the-heller-decision-and-individual-right-to-firearms
