FWIW


"A well-regulated
well trained, equipped and functioning in a proper manner
Militia
Title 10, Sec. 311(a) U. S. Code- "The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age...."
being necessary to the security of a free State,
A Free State is secure if it is able to defend itself against foreign invasion and the tyranny of its own government.
the right
as opposed to government granted privileges!
of the people
"the People" - not a "group" of people, the States, nor the Militia.
to keep and bear
keep (to own or possess) and bear (to carry)
Arms,
weapons, including but not limited to firearms.
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.“

infringed -- violated or encroached upon
