You are not mistaken. Read James Madison’s Federalist 46 and the
Second Amendment will become clear. Be patient.

My conclusion is that the 2nd A is not about militias having access
to weapons but, rather, armed private citizens having the ability
to establish militias.

Interesting on how the left has managed to demonize militias too...
