infringe - act so as to limit or undermine (something); encroach on.

shall not be infringed - shall not be limited, undermined, or encroached on

A well-regulated militia being necessary..., the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

By all right (OURS) the government can't do any more then tell us what arms to supply ourselves with for militia duty.
And those arms had better be related to the efficiency of the militias ('today', not 1789).

Of course the people may & have decided otherwise...and there is often compelling government interest for doing things that are unconstitutional.
