There is NO ambiguity in the 2nd Amendment. Liberals try to ambiguize it with the firt clause but that clause does not affect the status of the rest of the Amendment. It only provides one reason for the ban on infringement of the RKBA. Where is the ambiguity in "...shall not be infringed?" The ambiguity comes in the courts and the legislatures. ALL laws save the Kennesaw GA gun law violate the Constitution.

The 1st is likewise clear but is not absolute in itself. If says "Congress shall make no law...." That leaves it for the states to finagle. That is finessed by the "Incorporation" of the amendments to include the states in that ban. The 2nd is not affected by Incorporation. It already applies to all levels of the polity, arguably including individuals and property owners.

This stems from people’s misunderstanding the “Bill”. The “Bill of Rights” is a comma separated list, much the same way as a “Bill of Materials”.
