Is Gun Ownership a Right?

[stanc]

"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."

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state. Is this a sentence? No.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Is this a sentence? Yes.

Each of those phrases is a part of one sentence. The second phrase could be a sentence, but it is not written as such.

Nice try, though.

The militia portion describes the sentence but does not change it.

No, what the militia clause actually does is establish the reason for the right to keep and bear arms.
