      No it is not. Militia is not defined. If it is a right for individuals or if it is a temporary provision for frontier life? What role if any does the state have? Does arms include any arms or only what a reasonable person would expect a local temporary militia to have?

      As for the comma there are a few ways to look at the constitution. One is that each sentence feagment stands on its own another way is that the sentence fragment only stands in context. The rest of the expression mentions a well regulated militia which clearly isn’t there by accident. Under fragment school it is. So fix the comma. Make it one sentence so that it is clear that the purpose of this is for militias.

          It specifically says “well regulated militia”. Stop pretending those words aren’t there.

          This is exactly what I am talking about. The text isn’t clear. Oh and I am a liberal gun owner. A badly written rule is still a badly written rule.
