"There is only one comma in the 2nd Amendment as originally written, not three."

I did a cut and paste directly out of Westlaw. If all the lawyers and others researching the law in this country have an incorrectly punctuated version of the amendment offered to them by a main legal research resource, no wonder some people are confused about the meaning of "the right of the people!"

The AG report quotes 2nd Amendment as follows:

The Second Amendment of the Constitution provides: "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."

with 3 commas.
