“right …to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

He left out the critical word "people". The 2nd amendment proctects the "right of the *people* to keep and bear arms" not a power of the state for form military establishments.

Militias, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves and include all men capable of bearing arms. [...] To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.

-- Senator Richard Henry Lee, 1788, on "militia" in the 2nd Amendment
