So, what does the 2nd amendment mean to you?

As per message 1, the 2nd amendment:

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.

My recollection (as in, I'm not going to re-research it now), is that the first part ended with a semi-colon (...free state

. I don't know if this is significant or not.

Anyway, the meaning of / relationship between the two parts is (IMO, of course) murky.

What is your opinion on the meaning of the 2nd amendment?
