A well regulated militia,...
(there's those pesky regulations again...)
...being necessary to the security of a free State,
In reality you have identified a nominative absolute.
(if it's necessary, government should provide them to me for free)
No. Legitimate Government SECURES rights. It is not a gang that
plunders SOME to the benefit of OTHERS.
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
And you have found the 'meat and potatoes' of the sentence.
Remember diagramming way back when ...
Infringed; advance beyond the usual limit. Go against as in rules or
laws.
(I wonder what the usual limit was back then? I bet most people had a
dozen or more back in 1776.)
A perusal of the REMAINDER of the Constitution quckly reveal that
no power exists to 'infringe' in the first place.
I'll assume Arms refers to any weapon able to fit in ones arms, and
not specifically a gun anymore than a spear or sword.
Why can't I have a bazooka or rocket launcher?
It fits in my arms.
Because Government is VIOLATING its charter.
And it would also make any guns people carry practically valueless in
the same way guns made spears and swords valueless.
Not really, but if it aids your pleasing vision.

"A well-educated electorate being necessary for self-governance in a free state, the right of the people to keep and read books shall not be infringed." Is there anyone who would suggest that means only registered voters have a right to read? --Robert Levy, Georgetown University professor
