I remember that thread. It could just be my less than adaquate grammatical skills, but I can't see where the extra punctuation changes teh over all meaning. It just segements the supplementary clauses for our Individual Right, and in fact could be considered to be a punctation of "shall not be infringed."

I'd just be happy with either version if our various levels of government would realize that it IS and individual Right and that they have ZERO AUTHORITY to pass laws infringing said Right.

Agreed. I saw a great post on a thread a few days ago where the poster said something like:

The 1st Amendment is an individual right.

The 3rd Amendment is an individual right.

The 4th and 5th Amendments are individual right.

SO we're supposed to believe the 2nd Amendment isn't an individual right?
