This is Horse Manure!!! The Militia at that time was every able bodied male. Commas and shyster courts be damned!

The comma was a meaning of protection for citizens meant to mean WHY the people should have equal rights. It was protection from the militia.

I know you are aware of this, yet that's why the comma. Do people study the English Language anymore?

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.
