What the 2A means to me is the same as it meant to the Founding Fathers: Government is not to restrict or interfere with the acquisition and possession of standard military weapons by members of the (organized and unorganized) militia.
And -- because the federal and State governments have infringed on that ability to purchase and possess military weapons with laws like the 1934 NFA and 1986 FOPA, and because the Supreme Court has consistently held that government can so infringe -- what the 2A also means to me is that words on parchment are insufficient to prevent government from imposing further restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms, especially semi-auto variants of military arms, like the AR15.
