I'm not stupid. The "'cold, dead hand(s)' death fantasy is in place because of progressives. Give them an inch of gun control and they'll want another, then a foot, a yard, a mile, until they've successfully gutted the Second Amendment and the only arms we'll be allowed are those connected to our shoulders.
As to "qualifies the right to keep and use them to only a 'well regulated militia'", is a perversion. The prefatory phrase explains the purpose of the amendment. It does not protect the right for only members of a militia.
Then there is the question of exactly of whom the militia is composed. Last I knew, it was:
Organized militia – consisting of State militia forces; notably, the National Guard and Naval Militia. (The National Guard is not to be confused with the National Guard of the United States.)
Unorganized militia – composing the Reserve Militia: every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age, not a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia.
