[QUOTE="Sanford, post: 2173910, member: 27733"] See that red thing? That's a comma. In the English language it's used to indicate an interpretation of the text such that the words immediately before and after the comma are less closely or exclusively linked than they might be otherwise. The first phrase is the reason, the second phrase is the right. The right to keep and bear arms is not contingent on one being a member of the militia. To better expand on the initial meaning remember the historical context of the day and time when citizens were responsible for *bringing their own guns* to fight if called up (what we today would call "drafted") to serve in the militia. The entire concept of a federally funded "National Guard" is a more recent aberration resulting from the Militia Act of 1903. [/QUOTE]
