Does it say the right of the militia to keep a bear arms shall not be infringed?
Does it say the right of the state to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?
Does it say the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?
B) “The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
In your opinion, "A" and "B" above mean exactly the same thing. The extra words in "A" were added because the Founding Fathers thought they looked cool.
When it comes to the “people” in carry of “arms” determined to include or not include a specific weapon. At one time “arms” could be defined as long bows as in my post #25 . Some “arms” are considered legal and some are not. The Government can escape “defined” arms in their arsenal. They can become the Goliath.
The laws of states, for instance, have determined what “arms” you can or cannot own, carry, even perhaps location of ammunition to that related firearm. Was the threat even ruled justified in your right to protect self, family, property, etc.
The enemy, lunatic and/or any criminal, however, abide by no laws laid out by lawmakers and politicians of the land.

Just my opinion.
