"The people" means "the people" in every other instance where the words appear in the Constitution, and it means "the people" in the second amendment too.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>Now, if your interpretation is correct, why doesn't it read like this:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of those Militiamen to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

But it doesn't. It says "people".

Not only that, but in decision after decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that it MEANS people.

That doesn't mean anything, there are people like Scalia and Thomas who are traitors on the Supreme Court and what they say makes no difference to Americans.
