Original Note:
The author makes an error common in the liberal mentality. The prefatory clause on the Second Amendment is not a limiting clause, it is a justification clause. The operative clause, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed", can stand on its own. https://reason.com/2019/11/03/what-is-a-well-regulated-militia-anyway/
