SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is absolute. There are no words modifying that language. All laws, taxes and regulations, all required registrations and permits on all forms of ARMS are prima facie unConstitutional with the possible exception of the involuntary servitude clause in the 13th AMD which can be construed to allow barring of arms to legally incarcerated felons, petty infractors and lunatics. If every school has a sign prominently displayed on all of its outside doorways declaring truthfully that teachers and staff are all trained and licensed to concealed carry, there will be no more mass school shootings and the armed teachers and staff will never be required to shoot in defense of the pupils. These agents of Satan will not go to a school to do their boss's work if they think they might be shot before they have raked up a score to enable them to go out in a blaze of infamous glory.

“SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is absolute. There are no words modifying that language. “

You might say that they are modified by the preceding words:
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms”.

What is inside that right and what is not?

Can the law require the return to its true owner of a stolen firearm you are keeping and bearing or can you claim your right to keep and bear arms allows you to keep and bear it and a law requiring its return is an infringement?

What about five year olds? Are they covered by the right of the people to keep and bear arms? Is a law saying a parent can forbid them to do so an infringement of their right?

I believe we must promote a better understanding of the right rather than just shouting “Shall not be infringed”. We don’t need to convince those on The Right, and we can’t convince those who support the Far Left, but there are a lot of people in the middle.
