  5. Ok, let us break down the 2nd amendment. There are two sides here that cherry pick one point. The left cherry picks "well regulated" while ignoring the rest where the right cherry picks " the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed". Now the political right is correct here but for the wrong reasons to a degree. So let us all bring it together. On part says "Militia". The Militia at the time were civilians who were not a part of an organized army. The colonies fought against the British army. They colonists were not an organized army but were militia and referred to, at times, as militia men. Now with "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" is clear. the right of the people just like in the 1st amendment with free speech and press where it says "or the right of the people ...." So with that at the very least the political left has to see the contradictory point of their argument if they say that "well regulated" means to regulate guns. So guns can be regulated but the right should not be infringed? But what is meant by "well regulated"? It means "trained" or "disciplined" or "control". That means a lot. The idea behind this is that allowing people to own guns allows them to be trained in them and control them. That is an uprising of the people were to happen they would be prepared and form a militia that is "well regulated" as they are trained due to the fact they own guns. This idea that "well regulated" meant to "regulated guns" is 100% false. It can be argued to regulate a militia, but then one has to realize that the whole Constitution was designed to limit government, especially the federal government. And that there were to be no standing army. So why would they place this in here? In all, people who point to "well regulated" are simply cherry picking and ignoring not only the entire 2nd amendment, but the entire constitution in itself.
