The second amendment is quite simple as to what it means and what its purpose was in it's historical context. 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. In 1791 when it was ratified the term " well regulated" didn't mean regulation or restriction. It means, "equipped and ready for service". It doesn't say the right of the militia to bear arms, it says people, because all people could be part of the militia. Also it doesn't specify types of arms. This means all arms. So if it was brought up to modern English it would say. A equipped and ready for service Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of anyone to keep and bear any type of arms, shall not be infringed. With the advent of a standing military now protecting the security of the state, it's original purpose is obsolete. This is what causes the confusion and misinterpretation but its meaning is clear.
