There is not a semicolon in the entire text of the Second Amendment. All of its parts were meant to be considered together as a whole. There really is no other way to interpret this, as it relies on basic, established rules of English, particularly as they were established at the time the Constitution and the Amendments were written. Note the key words "well regulated" and "Militia." If the framers of the Constitution and the Amendments had intended for every citizen to have the right to keep and bear Arms, the Amendment would say, simply: "The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." That's not what it says, however. Therefore, citizens who are not members of a state's National Guard or some other well regulated militia do not have a Constitutional right to keep and bear Arms." Very cool. Thanks!

I hope even more that the Republicans in the House continue to shoot themselves in their big old elephant feet and that most of them are voted out in 2014.
