"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." I think they forgot the bit about a well-regulated militia - I see nothing well-regulated about a 'society' which values the right of any old tom, dick or harry to own guns above the risk of those guns being used to kill innocent people and wreck the lives of the families of those innocent people.
