(53,661 posts)See the Second as almost two different sentences, not one part agreeing with the first part. Those who see the second part as supporting the first part, see only one entity protected, the militia.
The government doesn't call the armed forces militias very often, they are not gathered quickly and on the spot like a group of vigilantes.
The government goes after the citizen militias who seek to take the law into their own hands and intimidate their neighbors with firepower. Or to oppose the acts of government.
The individual aspect of intimidation is largely ignored. The individual RK&BR group has persuaded the Supreme Court to agree with them.
Is your solution to repeal the Second Amendment, or more regulations? The ALEC funded initiatives making guns legal anywhere is a big problem.
