I addressed this already.

The problem is also that people totally ignore 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.

Of course not. I never ignored it. I
used it to justify the obvious fact that "arms" actually means "arms." That the prefatory clause outlines the reason for the operational clause, it is the "why" not the "what". It explains that an armed and well-trained populace is necessary to keep the state free. This clearly shows that the people are supposed to have access to the same arms as the government, which is of, by, and for the people.

Does that also mean that if you own arms, that you are required to be on call to a militia and bear them in defense?

Of course not. The Constitution doesn't say any such thing.

But we're not talking about amending it.

Until we do, the people have the legal right to any arms they please.
