We're not in agreement because as I said before, that isn't what they meant by regulated and the amendment doesn't apply only to people in a formal militia. It's an individual right, just as the 1st Amendment is. The constitution does not allow for any infringement on your right to keep and bear arms.

Allowing them to infringe on your 2nd Amendment rights in any way is as unacceptable as letting them infringe your 1st Amendment rights by creating "free speech zones".

In the context of the Second Amendment, a well regulated militia means a militia that is well trained and organized so that it can adequately respond to a threat. It does not mean regulating weapons, and the phrase well regulated has nothing to do with the fact that the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

DC vs Heller pretty much put an end to that bullshit regardless when it reestablished that the 2nd Amendment was an individual right and not a collective right.
