I will also have to say your lack of understanding in regards to simple civics and law is astounding.

Oh please.

The problem here is that your lack of basic understanding of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the nature of rights themselves has become sufficiently widespread that people mistake the error for the actuality. The tragedy of this is that some people who hold to the same misconceptions that you do have managed to successfully legislate based on their mistaken ideas. But that doesn't mean they are right.

What does "shall not be infringed" mean?

You (and so many other people, unfortunately) seem to think there's a hidden "except for" somewhere in there.
