The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "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.."

It appears to me that the right of the people to keep and bear arms is separated from a "well regulated militia".

As far as our Constitution being a delicate balancing act between rights and freedom and society and the government....that ship has sailed IMO.

We are no longer concerned with that balancing act or rights and freedoms. We have traded our common sense for political correctness.

As long as all the minorities aren't offended and the middle class continues to break their backs in order to support free cell phones, free healthcare and free STUFF to the parasites of society, we will have maintained the status quo that we have learned to accept by doing nothing.

The "well regulated" part is a sort of preamble to the rest of the sentence: it informs the remainder. I would hope we would separate the working poor from the "won't work" poor. A married couple working at a Meijer or a Walmart is going to be right at the poverty line if they have a couple of kids.
