    Thank you for making my point so thoroughly. They believed in strong, disciplined militias. And they never imagined the horrors of modern weapons technology inflicted on civilian populations by fellow civilians.

      If that’s your takeaway then I suggest you return to grade school and have them teach you how to read again, because the whole comprehension part seems to have sailed right over your head.

        It may help with his reading comprehension to use the text in an analogy, like:

        “A well balanced breakfast, being necessary to the start of a healthy day, the right of the people to keep and eat food shall not be infringed.”

        This way it is clear, “a well balanced breakfast” isn’t who has the right to keep and eat food, “the people” are, because breakfast is important.
