"and "NOT a restriction on who may keep and bear arms"?"The operative clause restricts the right, not the preamble. Get it? Two different things. There is no conflict.

The operative clause clearly states “shall not be infringed”. Yet, you find a ton of exceptions contained within. Again, your intellectual paucity rears its head.

The operative clause restricts the right, not the preamble. Only under your insane, and restrictive, definition of "the people" and "arms".
