he right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

It's "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.", which makes it hard to mistake it for a collective right under government control, unless "the people" of the 2nd amendment are different than "the people" of the 1st, 4th, 9th and 10th amendments.

So the right of the people to assemble means one person? That's not a collective right?
