The best way to make sense of the Second Amendment is to take away all the commasThat is only true if there were no commas in the original text of the second amendment.

One comma. It separates the prefatory clause from the operational clause. The operational clause stands alone without the prefatory, not the other way around. Ergo, the Right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

"The best way to make sense of the Second Amendment is to take away all the commas"I tried taking away all the vowels. It made no sense whatsoever.
