1. Sure but the state needed individuals that kept and bore arms...

…to populate the militias, if needed.

[unweird]

2. Armories

That’s where well regulated militias keep their arms. Not at home.

4. +1. Towns used to have armories.

My old home town has one.

[SYFROYH]

5. Then why was the "people's right to keep and bear arms" needd

I think its because they knew if the people had the arms (decentralized) it ensured a militia could be formed.

One could still have armories, but the people had to keep and bear arms too.

7. Parse as you wish

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.

Remove that fluff between the commas and you have:
A well regulated militia shall not be infringed.

It’s all about the people regulated as a militia shall have the right to keep and bear arms.

9. Im not the one cutting out words.

Well-regulated modifies militia, not the people.

6. FRAUD!

10. I agree

That word fits the NRA’s lies about the Second Amendment

8. If you want to bear arms ...

… join the Guard or a Reserve unit.
