I just don't understand how you gun grabbers cannot see that the an armed citizenry (the militia) is only possible if "the people" (who make up the militia) have the right to keep and bare arms.  Even as a prefatory clause, it doesn't change the fact that an armed populace makes up the militia, and it certainly doesn't change the fact that the Bill of Rights is not a list of rights, but a list of limitations on the federal government.  One that in the 2A clearly spells out a right of the people to own firearms that cannot be "infringed"
