Lots of reliance on British documents and events to obfuscate the clear wording of the Second.

It's nice the Brits started moving toward indiviual rights in 1689, but 'the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed' seems simplistically clear, no matter how hard the leftists in this administration attempt to muddy up the meaning.

‘the right OF THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’ You forgot the Capitalized part. Very essential. The entire Amendment reads....

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
